A hallucinatory portrait of a man traveling from Finland to Greece in search of the utopian summit described in René Daumal’s “Mount Analogue ” (1952) – a fictional mountain floating in the sea. Equal parts non-fiction cinema, concert film, road movie and spirit quest, our protagonist’s journey is accompanied by immersive musical performances from Finnish guitar trio Olimpia Splendid and American percussionist Greg Fox.
