A nature and meditation DVD-film

Jiddu Krishnamurti, the Indian philosopher, mystic and cosmopolite held talks and discussions in Saanen in the Swiss Alps every year for more than 20 years. Between his public appearances he used to take walks nearly every day. This movie follows him on his steps into freedom without orthodoxy and compromise. In 1961, Krishnamurti spent the late summer and autumn in Saanen for the first time. After his walks he noted his perceptions and his awareness in his diary. It is extraordinary document of a journey in a pathless land. Krishnamurti said once about his walks: “When I walk, I don’t think, there is no thought. I just look … I think my solitary walks must have done something”.

The film starts with the sky at night in Saanenland, fades in to dawn over the Lake Lauenen, trys to see with Krishnamurti's eyes, it depicts his classical themes of dieing, death, emptyness and love, begins a new day with a walk in the morning, shows the work of the mountain farmers, explains Krishnamurti's definition of meditation and closes the circle with the sunset into the sky at night.
