"Un Buda" Trailer

dir. Diego Rafecas (2005,Argentina,110 min.) Tomas , torn apart by the disappearance of his father by the military in Argentina's Dirty War, can't find his place in the world so he distances himself from his familiar surroundings and takes refuge in Buddhist doctrines that his father practiced. His loss and disillusionment lead him to withdraw within himself and into ascetic spiritual practices. He travels to a Zen temple in search of a spiritual master in the mountains of Capilla del Monte, Córdoba, Argentiina. His brother, a philosophy professor at the University of Buenos Aires, and his girlfriend, a young actress, are his companions on this journey. Un Buda, directed by Rafecas, filmmaker and Zen master, is an original treatment of opposing concepts such as the earthly and the divine, rationalism and mysticism, and the point of contact between East and West in the quest for one's identity.
