An astonishing journey of redemption, faith, and devotion. Acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yang (Shower) blends documentary and fiction to follow a group of Tibertan villagers who leave their families and homes to make a Buddhist ₁bowing pilgrimage,₂ laying their bodies flat on the ground after every few steps, along the 1,2000 mile road to Lhasa, Tibet₂s holy capital. Though united in their remarkable devotion, each of the travelers embarks on this near impossible journey for very personal reasons.
