The dazzling new film from Bhutanese lama and filmmaker Khyentse Norbu (The Cup, Travellers and Magicians) chronicles a sacred jungle ritual whose masked, anonymous participants seek complete self-knowledge — or descend into thievery, violation, and murder. In his most personal film, Norbu uses masks, simple percussion instruments, and vivid Buddhist imagery as a mirror reflecting the fallibility of the human experience. Produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Pawo Choyning Dorji.
