"Unlike digital communication, handwriting carries something beyond literal meaning, something of the soul."
Through the eyes of twelve international artists "Traces of the soul" explores the world of contemporary calligraphy and why it is an increasingly relevant art form in this digital age. The film reveals how the art, philosophies, and life stories of these artists, whose diverse work is rooted in the ancient traditions of calligraphy, reflect and engage with the modern world.
