Samsara genforener de to filmskabere Ron Fricke og Mark Magidson, hvis prisvindende film Baraka og Chronos bragte en ny visuel og musikalsk kunstfærdighed til biografrummet. Samsara er et helligt ord, der betyder det evigt drejende livshjul. Dette er udgangspunktet for de to filmskabere, mens de søger efter den undvigende strøm af sammenhæng, der løber igennem vores liv. Filmet over en periode på fem år, i femogtyve lande, på fem kontinenter og skudt med 70mm film, fører Samsara os til verdener bestående af hellig jord, naturkatastrofer, industrielle komplekser og naturens vidundere. Ved at dispensere al dialog og deskriptiv tekst undergraver Samsara vores forventninger om en traditionel dokumentar. I stedet opfordrer filmen til egne fortolkninger, som inspireres af betagende billeder og musik, der kombinerer det gamle med det moderne. Samsara udforsker verdens vidundere; fra det mondæne til det mirakuløse.
