Siddhartha (1997)

A poetic saga of one man's quest for the peace of understanding.

SIDDHARTHA is an original adaptation by Sonny Lim of Nobel Prize winner Hermann Hesse's most famous, influential and well-loved work. Siddhartha the young seeker goes on a journey to look for truth and enlightenment. He goes through the fire of pleasure and pain and finally achieves what he had craved for: a new life of fulfilment, peace and tranquility. As a moral tale, with its subtle distillation of wisdom. SIDDHARTHA is free from pretension, pride and smugness: and for that reason its message is most persuasive.
