Living through 9/11 in New York, Joanna Walden experienced a moment of clarity, which propelled her to search for something greater than her 9-5 existence. Leaving her successful advertising career on Madison Avenue behind her, Joanna sets off in pursuit of a bigger purpose hiking the Camino de Santiago. Becoming a booze cruise on legs, this adventure is the start of the hilarious comedy of errors that best describes her transformational journey. Seeking her purpose in London, Joanna falls into old patterns of self-sabotage through the misuse of drugs, alcohol and men. Desperate to solve the problem of herself, Joanna enlists intuitive healers, imbibes plant medicine and then climbs Mount Kilimanjaro, on an often farcical spiritual search that does nothing to answer the calling of her heart. She receives a wake up call when police misidentify her as a rape victim after losing her phone, wallet and dignity at an annual work celebration. Joanna continues on her haphazard quest for more meaning in life, finding herself in a controversial South American retreat center. Here, she starts coming back to her true self buried beneath the masks, before meeting an octogenarian shaman in Argentina who prophesises her future, but her father’s terminal cancer diagnosis derails her once again. After the death of her father, Joanna quits the corporate world, swaps her Brazilian boyfriend for a Brazilian girlfriend and finds answers right on her doorstep back home in New Zealand. Higher perspective is juxtaposed between Joanna’s bumbling real life adventures, dating mishaps and comedic circumstances, showing her that what she was so desperately searching for could be found within her all along.
