🎬 About the Film

Three sisters live in a nomadic family on the Tibetan Plateau. A single choice made by the second sister triggers emotional conflicts between the three sisters.  They struggle between pursuing city life and sustaining their pastoral traditions.
In Tibetan culture, however, conflicts are not resolved through quarrels but through faith and ritual. Even as modern life brings great upheaval, tradition endures with resilience. The film unfolds through the conflicts surrounding the three sisters’ weddings, which are ultimately reconciled during three special pilgrimage rituals of circumambulating sacred mountains, revealing the unique power of faith in contemporary nomadic life.
