An inquiry into the possibilities of spiritual existence in modern Western culture, this film explores the lives of pagan re-enactors, failed commune members, black metal fans, Arctic hermits, and others who seek transcendence in an increasingly secular society.
A Spell to Ward Off the Darkness
A seeker of utopia navigates three distinct worlds, from a communal island in Estonia to the wilderness of Finland and finally as the lead singer of a Norwegian neo-pagan black metal band.
