World-famous 75 year-old Japanese artist Susumu Shingu sculpts the winds and follows them in search of a resting place, a wind-powered home, for his lifetime dream of Breathing Earth. He talks with nature through his sculptures. His dialogue with the wind and with water has given the world uniquely beautiful works of fluid, unpredictable, and ever-changing movement. Susumu renders visible the veiled and the unseen and opens to us new perspectives. German filmmaker Thomas Riedelsheimer who directed Rivers and Tides, the award-winning portrait film on artist Andy Goldsworthy, accompanies Susumu in pursuit of a dream, a quest to create an awareness of our planet, our breathing earth, and our human values.
