Synopsis
Traveling has the power to open horizons, establish links and transform expectations about the world, rediscovering forgotten or perhaps never lived values. An experience about a return to the origins, to everyone’s childhood and to the essence of things. Laos, a state of mind is a journey listening to the voice of ethnic minorities, the stories of a secret war, the rites of religion, traditional music and the silence of a sacred nature, through the poetry of images.
