Directed by Khyentse Norbu • 2016 • Bhutan
Starring Tshering Dorji, Sadon Lhamo, Thinley Dorji
Every twelve years, masked participants gather deep in a forest in Bhutan for a ritual that begins with the full moon and ends only when the new moon rises. Bound by strict rules and forbidden from revealing their identities, they enter a world where, as an elder explains, they must prepare for the gap between death and birth and discover who they truly are. Inspired by the Buddhist concept of the bardo, Khyentse Norbu’s mesmerizing film is a dazzling plunge into a world where ancient rites can summon both the noblest and basest of human instincts.
