Pema Tseden

Original title: Qi Qiu

On the Tibetan grasslands, Darje and Drolkar live a serene and ordinary life with their three sons and grandfather, but when the children discover a detail of their parents’ private lives, a series of dilemmas arise within the small community, threating to break the family’s fragile harmony. What matters the most in the circle of life and death: the soul or material reality? Tseden brings us a critique on social perceptions of sexuality that does not lose its poignancy in its subtlety.
