TALKING STORY is told from the unique perspective of Marie-Rose Phan-Lê, an apprentice healer born in Vietnam and educated in the west. The film transports the viewer into a world of exotic places, sacred practices and practical applications in the art of healing, from the beaches of Hawaii to the heights of the Himalayas. What emerges is a series of intimate portraits of healers and spiritual teachers as both human and divine. The personal journey serves as a thread guiding the audience and introducing them to an expanded worldview and a deeper connection between modernity and ancient traditions.
