Synopsis
Many seek it but only few have found it. There is no map to show the way. They call it heaven on earth. “Shambhala”, a place of peace and serenity. But where is this secret land? Is it on the peaks of the Himalayas in Tibet, in Gobi desert in Mongolia or in lake Baikal in Russia? Filmed over a seventeen-year period in Tibet, Mongolia, Russia, Israel, Palestine, Greece, Italy and Vatican City, "Invisible World" transports us to the disparate worlds of sacred grounds, war zones and natural wonders. A journey of exploration seeking for a place, which finally might be held inside ourselves.
