De Boeddha hier en nu
A personal and poetic film as a contemporary reflection on the life and teachings of the Buddha. The film is like a haiku, where casual images become extra-ordinary as an expression of an inner experience of reality. Metaphors and classical images alternate. The story about the life of the Buddha is written and narrated by Matthijs Schouten.
