A Returning Wind

A stressed man fed up with corporate life is trying to get back to nature. When he returns to his hometown and reunites with family after a breakdown, he immerses himself in the tranquil landscape and writes in his journal about the awe of untouched wilderness. Soon he becomes obsessed with messages in nature, so much so that his girlfriend is convinced he’s losing it. Yet he is reassured when he meets a former monk who drinks a bit, who informs him that nature is at the core of human spirituality. A number of unusual events occur, including a disturbance on Hopi land, but eventually the man discovers how reconnecting with nature can restore him as well as our out-of-balance world.
