*Presented in Spanish and Mayan with English subtitles* Deep in the dense jungles of the Yucatan, where the air hums and the ground seems alive, WETIKO follows Aapo, a young Maya man trying to survive the modern hustle without losing his roots. When he takes a quick-cash job for his family-owned pet store, delivering hallucinogenic bufo toads to a remote jungle ceremony, it feels like an easy score. One trip in, one trip out. What begins as a promise of transcendence inside a shady eco-village quickly reveals itself as something far more dangerous. Led by Zake Zezo (Neil Sandilands, *Sweet Tooth*, KINGDOM OF THE PLANET OF THE APES), a smooth-talking, bloodthirsty shaman who feeds on belief, fear, and control, the ceremony peddles enlightenment to Western spiritual tourists and new-age seekers. But as the powerful drugs kick in, reality fractures – time bends, the jungle pulses, and Aapo is trapped in a hallucinatory war zone. As paranoia spikes and alliances collapse, Aapo realizes Wetiko isn’t a myth but a sickness – greed, consumption, and spiritual rot spreading fast. Hunted, high and unraveling, he must choose whether to become another casualty or break the cycle before the jungle swallows him whole.
