About
In Buddhist philosophy, the word 'samsara' refers to the nature of life as a cycle of deaths and rebirths.
It is this process that filmmaker & visionary Lois Patiño evokes to breathtaking effect here, an incredibly ambitious film with a triptych structure at its centre, that follows a soul from the body of Mon (Simone Milavanh), an elderly woman in Laos, and later into the form of a baby goat in Zanzibar. It is a voyage that probes spiritual and cinematic boundaries to create a deeply moving meditation on what happens after we die and is, at times, a transcendent experience.
