Enlightenment Guaranteed

Doris Dorrie has shot on digital video a sort of lightweight “Zen and the Art of Midlife Crisis” comedy, in which two German brothers spend time in a Buddhist monastery in Japan and walk away with a new outlook on life. Gustav (Gustav Peter Wohler) is a feng shui consultant who learns, among other lessons, that the search for perfection, not necessarily perfection itself, is its own reward. Uwe (Uwe Ochsenknecht, a Kelsey Grammer lookalike) is a kitchen countertop salesman abandoned by his wife and who learns to put hate behind him and move onward. They reassess their relationship with each other and begin to focus more on the present than the future.
