Blood, tarot and circus fill Jodorowsky's spiritual quests. In El Topo a gunfighter rides into the desert with his six-year-old son and sets out to defeat a series of masters. The Holy Mountain sends a Christlike wanderer to meet seven of the world's richest and most powerful people. Santa Sangre begins with a young man in an asylum, taken on an outing to the red-light district.
