Fando and Lis

93 minutes • 1968 • 6.7

Fando wanders through a barren, post-apocalyptic wasteland with his partially paralyzed girlfriend, Lis. They are looking for the mythical city of Tar, where it is said that one can gain true insight and understanding of the nature of eternity. On the journey, they meet all sorts of unequal characters, one more strange than the other.

Alejandro Jodorowsky's debut film, Fando y Lis, is an esoteric exploration of the human subconscious, which takes shape through a surrealistic tale of the search for a greater meaning in life.
