Movie Info

In the barren landscape of Tibet, pious Norbu (Cexiang Rigzin) is forced to steal horses in order to support his wife, Dolma (Dan Zhiji), and their young son. Though Norbu shares his ill-gotten earnings with his fellow Buddhists, they banish him for his misdeeds. Later, Norbu's child falls ill and dies, and the thief believes that his amorality caused the boy's death. Norbu decides to swear off stealing, but when Dolma gives birth to another baby, his financial desperation leads him astray.
