Synopsis

Director Dechen Roder (Honeygiver Among the Dogs) considers her nation’s rapid plunge into modernity and the price paid for it with this introspective and dreamy mystery. When schoolteacher Nima is wrongly fired for a viral pornographic video featuring a woman who looks just like her, she sets out to clear her name by finding her doppelgänger. However, the more Nima learns about her doppelgänger’s life and her ties to a “stolen” sacred song, Nima’s journey becomes a mystery that she must solve. Accompanied by traditional Dzongkha music, Roder’s story of exploitation and cultural identity is an atmospheric and poetic experience.
