Years after losing his lower right leg in a motorcycle crash, Robert Kull set off on a mission to explore the effects of deep solitude on mind and body also to, perhaps, look for the religious answers he’d been seeking. He travelled only to a remote isle in Patagonia’s seaside wilderness, taking the gear and items he’d dependence on a year only, and his cat. On that isle, he wrestled with internal storms and with the crazy forces of nature that raged around him. He encountered immense physical problems, but the problems of mind and spirit forced him much additional.

In this diary of Kull’s tumultuous year, he chronicles a life distilled to its essence, and he offers a philosophical yoga on the tensions between character and technology, isolation and society. Kull explores the discomfort and longing we often avoid inside our active lives, aswell as the serenity and wonder that arise once we strip away our interruptions, all with laughter and brutal honesty. Kull details the Patagonia wilderness with poetic interest, transporting the audience directly into both his inner and outer encounters.
