The journey on foot of a group of Tibetans on a 1200 km pilgrimage to Lhasa, the holy capital of Tibet. As the Buddhist faith requires, they prostrate themselves every few steps, making their long walk an act of utmost religious devotion.
Tibet is a landscape rarely seen by cinema, and director Zhang Yang gracefully honors its many elements with this spiritualist documentary of a pilgrimage across the country amidst a harsh winter. Patient and oneiric rhythms pair for a truly rich cinematic experience both textural and enveloping.
