Atropa Belladonna (Deadly Nightshade) is an important ingredient in flying ointment. The film Atropa takes us to the forgotten world of European shamanism and into the midst of a ritual in a river bounded by woodland. With her rituals, the shaman speeds up the natural elements around her, creating new energy and cohesion. In this way, the potent trance film Atropa accelerates to a higher level of consciousness.
