  1. 1. The Lightness

    At a summer Buddhist program high in the mountains, a teenage girl searches for her missing father and falls in with a seductive trio obsessed with levitation. Drawn into their blend of meditation, ritual, and risky games, she navigates the volatile currents of desire, jealousy, and belief, reflecting on the lure of becoming weightless even as their experiments edge toward disaster.
