"Meaningless! Meaningless!<br>says the Teacher.<br>Utterly meaningless!<br>Everything is meaningless.<br>What do people gain from all their labors<br>at which they toil under the sun?"<br>- King Solomon <p>Can there be real meaning in this life? Is there meaning in beauty? Do our lives have value? Are we toiling in vain? </p><p>These are the questions haunting Sami, a documentary filmmaker commissioned to capture the counterculture movement in 1967 California. </p><p>Sami is submerged in her work, yet tortured by her own mind. Battling mental illness, she self-medicates by getting lost in aesthetics, especially paintings, and allowing herself to be hypnotized by the mystical meaning she senses in the Santa Ana winds. </p><p>She is simultaneously seduced and disenchanted by the ideology of her generation-a generation that rejects the beliefs of middle-class values. </p><p>Will she find the meaning she so desperately seeks, or will her search consume her completely?</p>
