The coronavirus era has changed our lives forever. Working from home and social restrictions have become commonplace. Fear of contracting the disease forced people to learn to live a “new normal.”

Before the pandemic, many stayed busy with work to avoid spending time alone. Corona forced people to slow down and “think.” and have more conversations with the ‘self.’ As a result, many changed their lives. Some quit their jobs and searched for new careers. Others got married, had children, and some got divorced. This predicament forced people to make decisions they would likely have avoided forever. In the same way, Janwillem, removed from his comfort zone, finds himself discovering previously unknown elements of his character and takes a new direction he would never have considered before.

In an exotic setting, with language barriers and cultural clashes, through failures and sometimes humorous mistakes, Janwillem invites audiences to reveal answers to questions they would never think to ask.

Audiences are also fascinated by the journey of an outsider who chooses to enter a different culture. Watching Janwillem’s experience, they learn about the life of monks from a completely different perspective. With its simple and passionate narrative, the film will make you smile as you renew life’s magical moments.
