Plot summary: In a series of images, accompanied by music but without any narration, the film takes the viewer on an imaginary tour of 24 countries, presenting the reciprocal relation between man and nature. Ron Fricke and his crew traveled through different countries during a period of 14 months and created an admirable picture.
Comment: The film is a true masterpiece. It is a journey starting from Tibet, during which the filmmaker introduces the mysterious East and the spirituality that permeates through this part of the world. Gradually the film brings in the modern world, thus creating an opposition between nature and technology, giving us the chance of meditating on an ideal world.
