synopsis
The eleventh film in the “Walker” series follows the Walker through San Sebastián, Spain. He wanders around the Comb of the Wind, where the sea rises and breaks against the shore. Along the way, he passes an old Basque farmhouse, a silent man, a woman drinking water, a woman smoking, punks gathered in a rock bar, and people young and old in the historic city at sunset. The Diamond Sutra speaks of all living beings in these words: “Specks of dust are not specks of dust; therefore, they are called specks of dust.”
The Walker keeps walking, and crosses paths with Anong.
Director’s Statement
The Walker has arrived in San Sebastián, Spain.
This time, a few new faces appear in the Walker’s world. Anong still has a part to play, and he seems to be slowly becoming another Walker himself. There is also a very special performer: a farmer in his eighties whom I found by chance. He is wonderful on camera. Hsiao-kang has become almost transcendent in the way he walks. Every step now seems effortless, as if his body has found its own rhythm.
This is the eleventh film in the “Walker” series. It has not been easy. The hardest part is finding something new each time.
