A herder wants to kill the snow leopard that has turned his sheep pen into a bloodbath, much to the objection of his son and his monk-photographer brother. In the high-altitude Tibetan terrain, familial disputes and ethical dilemmas surface under the eye of the regional TV crew, offering poignant glimpses into a realm where humans and nature collide.
With his storytelling brilliance and wit, the late Pema Tseden creates his last visually stunning tapestry that encapsulates the mystical yet grounded realities of Tibetan life where modernity and tradition collapse.
"A testament to Tseden’s gift for telling stories that are deeply rooted in Tibetan culture yet retain an entirely universal cinematic vision." — Screen International
"a striking final vision with which Tseden leaves us: a place that embodies an understanding, or perhaps even a latent human desire, to live in harmony with nature" —Truthdig
Grand Prix at Tokyo Film Festival 2023
Mae bugail eisiau lladd llewpard yr eira sydd wedi troi ei gorlan ddefaid yn gyflafan, er mawr wrthwynebiad ei fab a'i frawd sy'n ffotograffydd ac yn fynach. Yn nhirwedd uchel Tibet, mae anghydfodau teuluol a chyfyng-gyngor moesegol yn dod i'r wyneb o dan lygad y criw teledu rhanbarthol, gan gynnig cipolwg teimladwy ar deyrnas lle mae bodau dynol a natur yn gwrthdaro. Gyda’i wychder storïa a’i ffraethineb, mae’r diweddar Pema Tseden yn creu ei dapestri gweledol syfrdanol olaf sy’n crynhoi gwirioneddau cyfriniol ond sefydlog bywyd Tibetaidd lle mae moderniaeth a thraddodiad yn chwalu.
