To keep connected, Jimmy gives Elspeth a video camera, but Jimmy fails to connect. Elspeth, bored and craving attention, decides to cure her ailment by broadcasting her musical performances from her kitchen sink live on the internet.

Wolfe transforms Elspeth from a simple stay-at-home mum into a domestic goddess, taking her on a journey to a world far from her own.

Prepare yourself for an unparalleled sensory experience. Filmed over a period of almost five years and in twenty-five countries, Samsara transports us to sacred grounds, disaster zones, industrial sites, and natural wonders. By dispensing with dialogue and descriptive text, Samsara subverts our expectations of a traditional documentary, instead encouraging our own inner interpretations inspired by images and music that infuses the ancient with the modern.
