SYNCING SINKING - Short Film

Psilocybin therapy and the processing of paternal grief are explored through the story of Nabil, a young man who undergoes a supervised psychedelic ritual guided by a facilitator named Loka. After consuming mushrooms to address the stagnation following his father-s death, his experience shifts from initial serenity to a profound psychological crisis marked by extreme agitation, disorientation, and an eventual flight into the surrounding forest. This challenging journey forces a raw confrontation with the reality of loss as he desperately seeks his deceased father through a series of internal and external trials that culminate in a harrowing emotional ordeal. While the session is intensely traumatic, it serves as a catalyst for breaking destructive emotional patterns and illustrates the complex nature of psychedelic integration and the vital importance of safe therapeutic containers.
