Synopsis

Alejandro was an unhappy and stressed man. In 2018 he had a unique opportunity: to travel very closely with a Buddhist monk who lived 50 years in the Himalayas and accompanied the most recognized teachers of Tibetan Buddhism. One of them is Matthieu Ricard, known as the happiest man in the world.

MUBI's take

Honest and self-effacing, this documentary uses co-director Alejandro De Grazia’s personal anxieties as a springboard to reach for transcendence. Famed author and Buddhist monk Matthieu Ricard is a highlight among the assembled pundits, while the serene film’s mountain backdrops are breathtaking.
