A movie of few words, almost literally. The movie is based on a Buddhist monk, the master and his student and how with the passage of different seasons things change with time and the surroundings. The movie doesn't specify the names of the monk or the student. The dialogues are rare and precise. They are enough to convey the message. The movie is shot in a beautiful place where the monk stays on a floating temple with the student. The student grows up from a kid to become a monk himself. The transformation from the student to the monk and how is this achieved is the main theme of the movie. The main attraction of the movie is cinematography and the locals.When its fall it looks beautiful. When its winter the whole lake freezes and its all white with ice everywhere.
