Synopsis

This creative experimental documentary about frontiers of Eastern meditation and Western science, tries to embody what it deals with - meditation itself. Protagonists of the film, poet and plasma physicist Pavel Ctibor and cognitive scientist and Buddhist Jan Burian, both scientists and personalities rooted in the Eastern teachings of Buddhism and Shaivism. Film portrays two Czech scientists, who accepted the tool of meditation in addition to the scientific exploration of the world. Film attempts to describe meditation and also to evoke it or induce in the audience through the experimentation with film medium. It examines boundaries of exploration of the world using objectivism of science and subjectivism of meditation. Do those paths intersect? What is the better way to explore the reality?
