If a soul leaves one body to find another, how does it feel? What does it sound like? ‘Samsara’ is a story divided into two: two worlds, two belief systems, two experiences and inner lives. What unites them is a cosmic thread, a sensory path, all light and sound. The story begins near a miraculous waterfall in Southeast Asia and travels to a fishing village in East Africa. The route is a bridge that does not appear on any map, and which perhaps only cinema can attempt to replicate.
