Watched this tiny gem in a quaint theatre in Germany

Warning: Spoilers
I am from India and was living in Germany in Freiburg im Breisgau when I got to watch this beautiful movie. Suraj baba is just a regular guy who has spent 8 years living in a cave in the Himalayas. After 8 years, he decides to make this pilgrimage to the Kumbh Mela.

His struggles with being human are evident as he interacts with the world again, while stopping to eat food, while attending the mela etc. These struggles of being a human don't just vanish after he spends 8 years in a cave.

He is still a seeker, who has a child inside him, who loves his guitar and his impromptu music compositions. There is something joyful about Suraj baba.

Eventually he returns to the mountains with tears in his eyes as he needs to go away into the wilderness again to do his saadhna. He realizes he there is nothing for him in the world, at least not yet.

PS: As the other reviewer mentioned, nothing at all was offensive in this movie. It was just a beautiful little journey through a "tiny part" of Suraj baba's life. It didn't lack depth, even in it's simplicity, it was beautiful, deep and soul touching.

Every seeker is different and beauti

Highly recommend! :)
