After leaving her job, Sanae withdraws from society and lives in solitude. Through quiet encounters with people and the changing rhythms of nature, the time that had stood still slowly begins to move again. As she surrenders herself to light, wind, water, and sound, she gradually reconnects with the world around her. Told with minimal dialogue and an emphasis on sensory experience, Samsara invites the audience into a meditative journey of healing, presence, and rediscovery. It is a gentle reflection on loneliness, nature, and the quiet process of learning to breathe and belong again.
