Trappist monk Thomas Merton decides to meet Buddhist elder D. T. Suzuki. “Suzuki is nearly deaf and uses a tube to hear better. They both laugh a lot at themselves, the world gone mad around them, the impermanence of things and the illusions of men.” Equilíbrio e Graça is Reichenbach’s first film after having a near-fatal stroke. A gesture between cinephilia and mysticism that expresses the director’s fascination for life and painting, music and dance.
