The story

What Is A Buddha About?

The premise of A Buddha without spoilers.

Two brothers, orphaned after their parents vanished in Argentina’s 1970s Dirty War, live divergent lives in Buenos Aires: withdrawn Tomas practices asceticism and shows deep compassion, while older brother Rafael, a solitary philosophy professor, remains detached. Their strained bond and personal searches change when they arrive at a rural Zen center.
