An endeavour, a symbol of the eternal search for one’s inner strength.
The Answer tells the true story of the American James Donald Waters and of his desire to undertake a quest to find the truth, which will take him from his homeland, Romania, to Switzerland and England until he reaches the United States where, in 1948, in Hollywood, he meets Paramhansa Yogananda, the great Indian Master and author of the book Autobiography of a Yogi. The young Donald, who will later take on the name Swami Kriyananda, was immediately selected as a disciple and from that time began his extraordinary spiritual journey.
The film shows the epic tale of an anguished search studded with moments of illumination and dark nights, a company that becomes a symbol of each individual’s search for inner strength.
