Synopsis
Thirty-five years ago, film director David Lynch embraced the daily practice of transcendental mediation (TM) to cope with his anxiety, anger, tension and stress. Now, he wants the world to experience the same tranquility. "Unbounded, eternal, infinite consciousness" is the message Lynch is spreading on a global tour that includes book signings for his 2006 confessional tract, "Catching the Big Fish: Meditation, Consciousness and Creativity". Here, a fellow TM practitioner follows Lynch on the Brazilian leg of his tour, which stops at swanky bookstores in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro and a grim concrete center for boys in Belo Horizonte. Whether fielding questions or looking for a place to smoke, Lynch projects his patented by-gum attitude that fans struggle to square with the creepy and disturbing images in his collective work.
