In 1924, following an epic eight-month winter journey through the foothills of the Himalayas, from Yunnan to the valleys of the Brahmaputra, the explorer Alexandra David-Neel and the monk Aphur Yongden secretly entered Lhassa, the forbidden city of the kingdom of Tibet. 80 years later, Priscilla Telmon sets off on a solitary journey to retrace the itinerary of this amazing adventure. Walking 5,000 kilometers in six months is a feat in itself, but the film also depicts a journey into the inner Tibet.
The film is like a detective story, skillfully keeping the viewer on tenterhooks throughout.
