This creative experimental documentary about frontiers of Eastern meditation and Western science, tries to embody what it deals with – meditation itself. The film portrays two Czech scientists, who accepted the tool of meditation in addition to scientific exploration of the world: poet and plasma physicist Pavel Ctibor and cognitive scientist and Buddhist Jan Burian, both scientists and personalities rooted in the Eastern teachings of Buddhism and Shaivism. The film attempts to describe meditation and also to evoke it or induce in the audience through the experimentation with film medium. It examines boundaries of exploration of the world using objectivism of science and subjectivism of meditation.
