Where heaven and earth touch tower the summits of the Himalayas. They are the scene for the old Indian legend of the hot-tempered Shiva and his wife Parvati. In the same mountain area a young German woman meets an Indian yogi, who is revered by his followers as Shiva. The disciples are deeply concerned when they come to know about the burning love between their master and the young woman – but after some time they realize that Shiva did find his Parvati.

Many years later, Krishna, the son of this extraordinary couple, describes how his parents tried to find their own and truthful way between Germany and India, between legend and reality.

Krishna Saraswati was born in 1980 at Christmas in the Indian Himalayas, where he spent a very happy childhood, living on a lonely place far away from the trouble of the world. Five years later he moved with his mother and sister to Germany. Immersing into a completely different society, his world turned upside down and back to front. But with beginning of his schooltime he soon found himself to be a part of this astonishing world.

After graduating in 2000 and absolving his Civil Service as a Paramedic, Krishna did various internships in the field of Film and Television. Since 2003 he is a student at the Film Academy Baden-Württemberg, one of Germanys most well-known filmschools. He is currently working on his filmdiploma as a director.

The director Saraswati himself will attend the film screening.
