Private Project

ALUMAH

Edgar gets trapped in a video game, but wants to return to
the real world by trying to escape.
Then he discovers that, in order to get out of the video
game, he has to use the power of his headband, which he has
always worn on his head, in his hat, and had not realized it
before.
ALUMAH is the name of his headband, handmade by one of the
indigenous communities of southern Mexico, and every time he
use it, it gives him the Mayan energy, the strength to be at
peace with himself, to stop thinking about his past and,
perhaps, to find a way back to the present.
In the video game, Edgar meets several characters who want to
help him return to the present and find himself.
