About The Film

A young man enters a meditation retreat to get away from everything. But there’s no escape as his past and future close in on him on a descent deeper into his mind.

Director’s Statement

What’s it like to be inside your head?

This is what meditation explores. Meditation reveals the mind as a constant flow of thoughts, emotions, sensations and perceptions: seeing, hearing, feeling. Many books have been written and talks have been given about meditation, but not many films have been made to show what it is like. To feel it through sight and sound.

Can these inner experiences be captured? The self talk. The conversations that never actually happen. Getting lost in past memories and fantasies of the future. Can it give a glimpse into the nature of our true self?
