His quest for healing takes him deep into the heart of his indigenous heritage, where ancient traditions and stories hold the key to understanding his own suffering and the world around him.
Through Tayo's transformative journey, "Ceremony" explores themes of resilience, cultural identity, and the enduring power of tradition in the face of adversity.
