Through an unconventional cinematic approach and a dynamic musical score, the film reveals the deep connection between rivers and humanity. Guiding viewers from the river's perspective, it mirrors the rhythm of our planet and the cycles of life itself. The River was filmed from the mountain springs of Mustang in the Himalayas down to the sacred city of Varanasi, capturing both the spiritual essence and the stark reality of these waters. It is a meditation on human needs, our relationship with nature, and the way we shape, and are shaped by the environment. Written by
