In July 2006, Israel attacked Lebanon in an attempt to weaken Hezbollah and push it North of the Litani River, creating a buffer zone along Israel's northern border. Israeli war planes pounded Lebanon from the air, dropping 5,000 bombs a day for 33 days. 130,000 homes were destroyed and over 1 million refugees created, but Israeli ground troops took heavy casualties and were unable to reach the Litani River. Military combat ended with both Hezbollah and Israel declaring victory, but the real winner may not be clear for some time.

Arnaud Desjardins takes his son Emmanuel's questions as the point of departure for a look back at his life's journey in search of spirituality. In a very simple and accessible way, he recounts his childhood and the challenges of his youth, the Gurdjeff Groups, his periods in Christian monasteries and his travels through Asia to discover the great Eastern traditions: Hinduism, Tibetan Buddhism, the world of Japanese Zen and Sufism in Afghanistan. He also describes how he met the man who would become his master, Swâmi Prajnânpad, who became his guide on the voyage of his existence.
