For more than a thousand years, a mysterious Buddhist sect of monks has inhabited an isolated monastery in Japan, where it practices acts of extreme physical endurance in pursuit of enlightenment. The director, who comes from a Muslim family, in an attempt to find answers about his faith and personal life, sets out to the monastery in search of answers about the sense and purpose of these mysterious practices. He wants to document them, but when he arrives there, he finds out his presence is not welcomed.
