Film Description:
Renowned virtual reality director Noa faces a tragic dilemma after losing his wife in childbirth and the fragile health of his newborn son. In his dilemma about which world would make his son happier, he turns to a Tibetan Rinpoche’s book his wife left behind and journeys to Tibet. Immersed in meditation, Noa embarks on a spiritual quest, while the Rinpoche explores virtual reality to understand its potential for enlightenment. Through their parallel journeys, they uncover profound truths about the interconnectedness of existence, the fragility of life, and the realization that true happiness lies in genuine connections and the acceptance of life’s impermanence.
