Enlightenment Guaranteed
Two Strangers in a Strange Land.
Directed by Doris Dörrie
Produced by Megaherz
A warm, gently comic journey of two brothers seeking meaning and self-discovery at a Zen monastery, balancing spiritual inquiry with the friction of familial difference.
Two middle aged German brothers - one New Age and recently divorced, the other uptight and sceptical - travel to a Zen monastery in Japan in search of enlightenment, or perhaps just in search of themselves.
