This is a spectacular feature that has justly earned accolades such as the César for best cinematography and original score. It has also garnered foreign acclaim, as highlighted in its academy award nomination for best foreign feature film; the first Nepalese entry to be considered. This is a film not to be missed and gives a truly unique experience for any viewer. Filmed in the forbidden Dolpo region of Nepal, Eric Valli captures the endangered traditions of a remote Tibetan culture while exploring universal themes such as power, leadership, tradition, and change. In this directorial debut, Valli has created a quality piece of filmmaking.
