Als Het Leven Soms Anders Is

Becoming the best version of yourself, the goal everyone consciously or unconsciously strives for. Everything can always be better, more beautiful, bigger, faster. Nowadays silence is the only time we can relax, but the world we live in is actually never quiet. There are noises everywhere and excitement everywhere. What can we learn from silence? In this film, a group of young adults spend a weekend together in silence at a Zen Buddhist monastery. They drink tea, clean, walk around and meditate together. The birds whistle just a little louder, the cutlery and plates sound like a radio play while eating, and in the wind you can find different kinds of noise. As time passes, you sink, along with them, deeper and deeper into that clear silence. 'You Are Already Here' takes you into a meditative experience in which you can ask yourself where you are going, and more importantly, where you are now.
