At 75, Japanese artist Susumu Shingu talks to nature through his sculptures. His ongoing dialogue with wind and water has given the world works of unique beauty, fluid, unpredictable and ever-changing in their movement. Thomas Riedelsheimer accompanies this calm, modest man in pursuit of a dream, in his effort to raise awareness about our planet, the breathing of our earth and our human values. Breathing Earth is a film about the wind, about the philosophy of a wise person, about art, love and dreams.
