    • Welcome to another planet. A breathtaking landscape, a valley at an altitude of 4000 meters, on the peaks of the Himalayan mountains.
      Welcome to the Phuktal monastery of Zanskar where monks live a medieval existence on a cliff cut off from the rest of the world.
      For three months, the director, marianne chaud, shares the daily life of this Buddhist community and the school children living there. She follows them during their philosophy lessons, their chores, games and prayers. Among them, Kenrap, aged eight, the hero of the film, is the reincarnation of a 68 year-old monk.
