He was a budisht monk without temple, who was walking guided by the sun. He told me he was the Sun´s ambassador. I proposed him to make a film together and Zuma decided that we must do soething big. We had to tell Zuma´s life and his project for the new world: "The big red machine" He gave me a map of Barcelona with a signed route. Those were Sun´s orientations.
