Catalogue information
Karma, a Tibetan filmmaker from New York, travels to Dharamsala, home of the exiled Dalai Lama, and the center of the Tibetan diaspora. Karma is in India to make a film about a number of former political prisoners. One of the people Karma interviews is Dhondup, an enigmatic ex-monk who has just escaped from Tibet. She goes on a journey with him to fulfill Dhondup's mother's last wish: to deliver a jewelery box to a certain Loga. She is drawn into the spiral of the quest, which becomes a journey into Tibet's painful past and a journey full of self-discovery. This feature depicts a process that is universal in our post-modern world, the search for cultural identity and coping with displacement and loss.
