“In striving for control and perfection, we risk pushing through the very ground that holds us.”

So many of us live disconnected and dissatisfied, alienated from the root of what it means to be alive. We were never meant to live with armor up, fending off anything that might cut through these fragile bodies. To be alive is to also accept the inevitability of death, the many possibilities for breaking down. To love all the more because of it.

Celina Schadow and Lorenz Weber extend a gentle invitation to the viewer to “come home”—to the self and to the Earth, to acceptance of the intrinsic congruence between the two. The film demonstrates surrender as a form of embrace and offers a pathway to peace through connecting with the world in its entirety..
