In a corrupt, greed-fueled world, a powerful alchemist leads a messianic character and seven materialistic figures to the Holy Mountain, where they hope to achieve enlightenment.

Experience these restored masterpieces on the big screen as they were meant to be seen: as confrontational, deeply spiritual, and beautifully unhinged acts of cinematic alchemy.
