Director Marta György-Kessler captures in heartfelt, partly unpublished footage the unwavering connection between teacher and students. The film follows the historical journey of his close western students Hannah and Lama Ole Nydahl — a vibrant transmission of wisdom that transcends borders and lifetimes.
