The belief that our happiness depends on external circumstances is deeply rooted in our society. We are constantly looking for a new relationship, new holiday destinations, a better job … “Pointless Joy” shows a fascinating and real alternative: a life of happiness and contentment, free from external factors. The film tells the unusual life of spiritual teacher John David and the story of the Open Sky House community near Cologne. Almost unique in Europe, it is a powerful and fruitful place of self-realisation that deeply touches and transforms hundreds of people from many different countries. This documentary shows a forward-looking vision of how we can awaken and live together from the Self in stillness, love and creativity.
