Unable to do anything in the face of her daughter's incurable illness, a mother goes beyond the limits of modern medicine and puts her hope in alternative healing methods. Guided by despair, she embarks on a quest for healing that ranges from yoga sessions to shamanic rituals, leech therapy to ayurvedic nutrition. While each new method brings both hope and disappointment, for the mother this search turns into an addiction: An addiction to healing. This story is not only about a mother's personal struggle, but also questions how the concept of “healing” has become a field of desire, commerce and faith in the modern world. Where does the search for healing begin and where does it turn into addiction?
