Crystal Fairy & the Magical Cactus (2013)
Jamie is a boorish, insensitive American twentysomething traveling in Chile, who somehow manages to create chaos at every turn. He and his friends are planning on taking a road trip north to experience a legendary shamanistic hallucinogen called the San Pedro cactus. In a fit of drunkenness at a wild party, Jamie invites an eccentric woman -- a radical spirit named Crystal Fairy -- to come along. What is meant to be a devil-may-care journey becomes a battle of wills as Jamie finds himself locking horns with his new traveling companion. But on a remote, pristine beach at the edge of the desert, the magic brew is finally imbibed, and the true adventure begins.

      Inspired by the director's identical road trip and fateful brush with a woman who called herself Crystal Fairy.
    • Goofs
      It would be silly for anyone in the US to travel clear to Chile in order to get San Pedro cactus without doing a little research first. San Pedro cactus has been available in the US as an ornamental for decades. It is sold in greenhouses all across the southwestern US.
