Logline
A successful entrepreneur’s carefully constructed life unravels as he embarks on a transformative journey from ego-driven ambition to spiritual awakening, discovering that the greatest lie he ever told was to himself.
Synopsis
MY JOURNEY – TRUE LAYERS OF LIES is an intimate documentary that follows Ramin Sohrab, a man who seemingly had it all—success, status, and the admiration of those around him. But beneath the polished exterior lay a profound emptiness, a gnawing sense that something fundamental was missing.
The film chronicles Ramin’s courageous decision to step away from the life he knew and embark on a journey of self-discovery that would take him from the boardrooms of corporate success to the sacred ceremonies of the Peruvian jungle. Through plant medicine experiences, meditation, and deep introspection, Ramin begins to peel back the layers of conditioning, fear, and false identity that had defined his existence.
What emerges is a raw and honest portrait of transformation—the painful process of letting go of who we think we are to discover who we truly are. The documentary doesn’t shy away from the darkness: the moments of doubt, the fear of losing everything, the resistance to change. But it also captures the profound beauty of awakening, the joy of authentic connection, and the peace that comes from living in alignment with one’s true nature.
Through stunning cinematography that contrasts the stark, angular world of ego with the flowing, organic beauty of consciousness, MY JOURNEY creates a visual metaphor for Ramin’s internal transformation. The film interweaves personal narrative with universal themes, making it not just Ramin’s story, but a mirror for anyone who has ever questioned the life they’re living.
This is a documentary about courage—the courage to question everything, to face uncomfortable truths, and to choose authenticity over comfort. It’s a story that asks: What if the life you’re living isn’t really yours? What if everything you’ve been taught to want is keeping you from what you truly need?

The Journey
The documentary is structured as a journey in three acts, mirroring the classic hero’s journey but grounded in real, lived experience:
Act I: The Illusion
We meet Ramin at the height of his success, living the life that society tells us we should want. But cracks begin to show. The film uses intimate interviews and archival footage to reveal the internal conflict brewing beneath the surface.
Act II: The Breakdown
Ramin’s world begins to crumble as he confronts the lies he’s been living. This section includes powerful footage from plant medicine ceremonies, moments of raw vulnerability, and the painful process of ego dissolution. It’s dark, intense, and unflinchingly honest.
Act III: The Awakening
From the ashes of the old self, something new emerges. This final act is filled with light, hope, and the quiet joy of living authentically. We see Ramin integrating his experiences, finding peace, and stepping into a new way of being.
Why This Film Matters
In a world increasingly dominated by superficiality, performance, and the relentless pursuit of external validation, MY JOURNEY offers something rare: genuine transformation. This isn’t a self-help documentary promising easy answers or quick fixes. It’s a honest exploration of what it truly takes to change, to grow, to become who you were meant to be.
The film speaks to a growing audience of people who are questioning the status quo, who sense that there must be more to life than what they’ve been told. It’s for anyone who has ever felt like they’re living someone else’s life, playing a role that doesn’t fit, or searching for meaning in a world that often feels meaningless.
More than just a personal story, MY JOURNEY is a cultural mirror, reflecting back the collective awakening happening across the globe. It’s a film for our times, addressing the existential questions that more and more people are asking: Who am I really? What is my purpose? How do I live authentically in a world of illusions?
