Synopsis:
A journey through four distant cultures, retracing the steps that give rise to the breath of life: its primeval discovery, the circularity of breathing, the harmony of song, the color of each single voice and the connection with the innermost part of the self. A pathway of growth from the originating dream to its transformation and tradition in culture, now preserved as part of the heritage of humankind.
Towards a new awareness of the way our breathing manifests itself.
