Special Presentation

You can’t always om your way out of life. Such is the lesson of this funny, philosophical film from Argentinian writer/director Martín Rejtman about a man named Gustavo (Esteban Bigliardi) who has devoted his life to zen, but is nonetheless served up chaos by the universe and its human minions: His wife and fellow yoga teacher Vanessa (Manuela Oyarzun) leaves him but keeps their apartment. He injures his knee, robbing him of his usual yogic practice. A revitalizing trip to India is canceled. He’s homeless. Everything is downward facing, heavy on the dog. Could it be, however, that these trials and tribulations are here to teach Gustavo the true meaning of surrender and transcendence?
