Storyline

This drama focuses on one Tibetan family in which a young woman, Dolkar (Dadon), and her brother, Dorjee (Jampa Kelsang), have made radically different choices in their lives, even though they both still reside with their parents. While Dolkar is supportive of the Chinese occupation of the country, Dorjee hates the situation and leads a depressed existence. When their cousin, a Buddhist nun, is detained and abused by Chinese authorities, Dolkar begins to question her allegiances.
