Shambhala

In this remote community, traditions are undimmed by the 21st century, and the practice of polyandry (marriage of a woman to two or more men at the same time) continues. Pema (Thinley Lhamo, impressive) embraces this, marrying Tashi and his two younger brothers: Karma, a monk, and schoolboy Dawa. The household is content – until Tashi fails to return from a trade trip to Lhasa. The heavily pregnant Pema sets out across the mountains to find him. The formidable trek ultimately becomes a spiritual odyssey as she seeks to find her shambhala, or place of tranquility.
