Friends (2012)
The plot is based on the text of an ancient Navajo Indian song, which expresses the feeling of an inseparable connection between all living beings on earth. It is a parable about a person who has the ability to easily let go of things. He shares his unique perception of the world with others, who gain the opportunity to understand and change as a result.
