Tu enfermedad será mi maestro

A man nearing forty watches his mother decline due to a rapidly progressing Alzheimer's disease. This case, along with those of other loved ones who suffer altered states of consciousness and near-death experiences, leads him to radically question the workings of the human mind, the mechanisms behind delusions, forgetfulness, and hallucinations. His meditation, bolstered by his devoted reading—primarily of Oliver Sacks, but also of Carlos Castaneda and other explorers of the human brain—results in a story as unusual as it is fascinating, a personal quest to explore the boundaries between science, fiction, and the forms of reality.
