Plena Rondo follows a Japanese performance artist, on a 60-day experiment to master the world’s easiest and most egalitarian language – Esperanto – using only free learning tools.
Subsequently, the experiment takes us on a journey from Japan to Buenos Aires on an exploration of the political, philosophical and personal beliefs of many of the people at the heart of this social/linguistic movement.
On this journey we discover how English becomes the international language and the process of how languages die out. The film leaves us with many questions regarding the place and power of languages in a globalized yet increasingly unequal world.
