| Summary |
An astonishing journey of redemption, faith, and devotion. Acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yang (Shower) blends documentary and fiction to follow a group of Tibertan villagers who leave their families and homes to make a Buddhist 1bowing pilgrimage,2 laying their bodies flat on the ground after every few steps, along the 1,2000 mile road to Lhasa, Tibet2s holy capital. Though united in their remarkable devotion, each of the travelers embarks on this near impossible journey for very personal reasons. |
