There are situations in which the love of close ones does not reach the limits achieved in personal development. Tenzin, who has grown up in a Tibetan community in Canada, has reached the milestone of his twenties and finds himself standing at a bewildering crossroads of life.

Unable to find answers in the fields of meaning of spirituality, Tenzin sets out to seek these in the madness of the modern culture.
