A homeless Latin American woman in 1980’s Amsterdam who wanders around town singing tango and looking for a place to sleep, finds herself practicing zazen, the sitting meditation of the Buddhas. Living the present moment as a zen nun of the 21st century.
A journey from squatted houses to zen temples, from heart breaking tango songs to zen sutras. Just another zen story?
