This documentary is a broad panorama of the dilemmas of Tibet, which has struggled for emancipation from China for 59 years. The film looks inside a Tibetan community in exile in India, surrounding the figure of the 14th Dalai Lama, and exposes the divisions of its leaderships, dissidents, and especially its young people - who have never lived in Tibet and experience a feeling of unreality in relation to their ancestors' homeland. In addition to feeling impotent facing the military and economic might of the Chinese giant (with its 1.4 billion people), dead-locks in relation to their own movement's direction arise.
