О фильме
The Tibetan belief of curing diseases through going into a trance by invoking certain spirits/protectors has been practiced and socially accepted for over a millennium. This art is mostly inherited by the healer’s son – sometimes by a daughter, who hereditarily posses this inborn channel which only needs to be opened to be initiated as a healer. With a history of 13 generation of continuous spiritual healers in the family, 78-year-old Pao Wangchuk is frustrated with the fact that his son is incapable of continuing the family legacy.
