Praxis
A short film based on the life and work of a 16th century Alchemist named Paracelsus. Born in Switzerland, he devoted his practice to the health of others and was unpopular in the scientific and medical community at the time. Based on his miraculous works, he was thought by many to have found the recipe for the elixir of life or, more commonly, the philosopher's stone.
