What not many people know is, that vedic philosophy, ethics and standards, which date several millennium back, are the back bone for Christianity, Judaism and Islam. 3-4000 years ago Vedic standards defined agreements, honesty and obedience towards higher goals. In Europe we happen to be the Indoeuropean culture, migrated to here - and later to the Americas - from the Indian Northern frontiers. Most of the European languages, Latin and Italian, French and (strangely) German and English plus the Scandinavian languages derive from ancient Vedic language.

Your wonderful film is a tribute to an heritage, which seems to be all forgotten, but may hold a promise for the future. It is the common ground for attitudes, ethics, morality, mutual respect and respect for the living, that today seem to stride violently apart.

It is a beautiful narrative, a look upon life seen through the eyes of a young boy, which is appealing to all of us: Don't lose the perspective - we have a common background and a shared heritage. We have a common responsibility and a mutual obligation as human beings. Vedic philosophy instituted the concept of society.

For a very long time I haven't seen a camera come to better use, that in this totally encaptivating movie. Filming, post-production, color grading... It would all come to nothing if it were not for the message in this film. Why are we here? We're here for tomorrow. That when the sun rises we'll have another day to be with our peers, children, parents, colleges, friends... being pieces in the most wonderful puzzle: Our Society.

There is hope.

For tomorrow.
