Winner of the Grand Prize Tokyo FilmEx 2011
Beautifully shot in the wilds of Tibet, this is a droll tale of conflict between a shepherd and his son over their old mastiff. When ne’er-do-well Gonpo sells the dog to preempt it being stolen, his old Dad rides in to town to buy it back. But he finds to his dismay that these traditional Tibetan dogs now command a high price amongst rich Chinese. After many arguments over the dog’s future the old man finally decides to take matters into his own hands. A heart-felt, deeply authentic tale of life in Tibet that is both humourous and heart-breaking.
