## Synopsis

This docu-fiction, shot in India and Nepal, recounts the first moments of Buddhism, by rediscovering a time when everything had to be built. Travelers and teachers who visit the places where the Buddha lived today have the same impressions: they are trying to understand the problems he had to face. Why did Siddhartha leave his palace and his family? What was the original way he taught to end suffering? How did he prepare the community to last after his death? This docu-fiction brings history to life by focusing on "the man who became the Buddha".
