Submitted to OnShow International Film Festival 2026Synopsis
A Sufi master and his long-lost disciple return to the sacred circle of whirling, retracing a mystical journey in search of truth, surrender, and divine presence. Through rhythm, breath, and motion, the film unfolds as a sensorial meditation on the hidden geometry between body and mind, where movement becomes prayer and ecstasy becomes vision. In the endless spiral of devotion, the self slowly dissolves, revealing the liberating moment when the performer becomes the performance itself.
