Overview

Across the Tibetan plateau, the rapid spread of digital connectivity is reshaping intimacy and fracturing nomadic families, leading to unprecedented rates of separation and divorce. In the wake of this cultural shift, 13-year-old Metok Karpo leaves her orphanage to find the father she has never known. Alongside her, young Shukzom navigates a silent longing for her own absent mother. Through their parallel emotional landscapes, the film captures a poignant search for belonging in a world where ancestral traditions and modern realities collide.
