When a man's life is shattered by the sudden loss of his wife, he is forced for the first time to seriously confront the questions of life and death. As he grapples with the nature of his own oppressive reality, he becomes intuitively aware of his wife's presence. Soon he is able to freely communicate with his departed bride in their own private reality. Dealing with such concepts as "fate", "reincarnation" and "a higher purpose" of human life, she guides him step by step towards a greater spiritual awareness. The key element in this spiritual evolution is his quest for the Holy Grail and his recollection of "the greatest event of all time and the greatest tragedy" in human history that occurred in Germany in the years before the outbreak of WWII. The film is dedicated to the German philosopher Abd-ru-shin, whose life and spiritual writings have inspired the directors deeply. Alexander Sokurov, the world-famous director of "Russian Ark" and "Mother and Son", has declared that RETURN TO LIGHT is "a light-bearing work, professionally bright....I am sure that such films doubtlessly have to be made."
