Siddhartha is the story of a young Brahmin who leaves his wealthy parents to become a sadhu, a wandering ascetic. Siddhartha meets and is awed by the Buddha, but chooses to follow his own path.

Eventually, he discovers enlightenment as a poor ferryman, learning tranquility from the river itself.

"Dazzling! Unlocks the door to a world of mystic beauty." -Daily News When filmmaker Conrad Rooks decided to film Siddharha, the Nobel Prize winning novel by Hermann Hesse, he traveled to India with legendary cinematographer Sven Nykvist. There, bewitched by the shimmering beauty and magic of this ancient land, they transformed Hesse's tale into widescreen poetry. Siddhartha is a glorious evocation of the Buddha and of each person's search for self knowledge and the divine within.
