A philosophical documentary that investigates the power of words: poetically, politically, religiously, through the lie, etc. There is line of prominent politicians and authors (mainly) as Salman Rushdie, Vaclav Havel and Paul Auster that all add experiences and thoughts to the investigation of this very human phenomenon.
