Déjalo Ser
2017 · 23 min · Drama, Music
There is a myth in the region of the Sierra Mazatec in the state of Oaxaca in Mexico, that the Beatles arrived there in the sixties to try the psychedelic mushrooms that have been used as prehispanic medicine for centuries in the region. The myth also states that Paul McCartney had a bad trip during the session, hosted by shamanic Mexican icon Maria Sabina. The story goes that she helped Paul trough the session by telling him repeatedly “Dejalo Ser”, spanish for “Let it be”. Nobody know for sure if such thing ever happened, or if the Beatles song was written after the experience. But the meta myth serves as the backbone of this movie, recreating it in the form of a road trip. The Beatles embraced by four members of a Mexico City new wave band, called “Los Rata” and a mysterious foreigner female character, embracing Yoko Ono as the ultimate inspiration for the band and the trip, characterized by Swedish Pop Social Network Super Star, Molly Nilsson.
