At the foot of the Himalayas around 2,500 years ago: The prince's son Siddhartha leaves his wife and child to confront his calling. On his journey through a socially torn land, he is accompanied by the ever-skeptical monk Dhepa and Assaji, a child of poor farmers with remarkable abilities. The encounter with King Bimbisara will not be the only pivotal moment for Siddhartha, as Devadatta, the son of Bandaka, also struggles for his existence and will play a fateful role for the wandering monk. It's high time to bring this great comic narrative to Germany! Frank Meyer, Deutschlandradio Kultur.
