Sunka Raku (Alegría Evanescente)

2015 2h 3m EN
Synopsis
Spoiler shield

It's a life told in four seasons. It is the orbit of a man who comes close to and steps back from the light, experiencing weather transformations in the garden of the soul. A documentary about the meticulous construction of Japanese tea houses in the Mexican Ajusco, as an excuse to discover a mind that at first glance might seem obsessive and eccentric.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
