Gurukulam Synopsis

In vivid and sensuous detail, this film follows a group of students and their teacher as they confront fundamental questions about the nature of reality and self-identity at a remote forest ashram in southern India. Daily chores, meditation, ritual, and rigorous study are woven together connecting the natural and spiritual worlds in moments of surprising revelation and comic contradiction. Deeply observational and experiential, this documentary evokes the presence of the place and a tactile sense of the sacred.
