First of all, it should be pointed out that this movie does not present a specific point of view in which one aspect is judged as bad and another as good, it rather raises questions and mysteries in an uplifting process of initiation, through the story of the main character. This initiation is about the process of spiritual evolution as seen through the frame work of the Tibetan doctrine.

This is a doctrine about the dual nature of reality under its 2 aspects: Nirvana (the peaceful void of spiritual enlightenment) and Samasara (the world of becoming, from one incarnation to another, full of suffering). By showing the play between these 2 aspects, the movie eventually leads us to experience that which cannot be explained – it takes us up to a superior and apparently paradoxical level of the reality – the mysterious Truth in which there is no duality, no Nirvana and Samsara, there is only the One.
