The Axis of Life

"The Axis of Life" is a Bulgarian feature film directed by Atanas Hristoskov, based on a book by Swami Tirtha. It is a contemporary parable about three disciples who set out with their spiritual teacher on a journey through a mystical mountain — a journey that becomes a trial deciding which of the three will succeed the teacher. The cast includes Italian actress Marina Suma, winner of a Best Actress award at the Venice Film Festival, and Clive Russell, known from "Game of Thrones". The screening is part of the Cinelibri film festival programme at NDK.
