The Sweet Requiem

By Ritu Sarin & Tenzing Sonam

Dolkar, a young Tibetan woman, works in a beauty salon in India. Suddenly, at the corner of a street, she meets a ghost from her past. The buried memories of a perilous journey reappear... Shot by filmmakers and a team mainly of Tibetan origin, The Sweet Requiem takes us from the snow-covered heights of the Himalayas to the narrow streets of Delhi to tell us the poignant drama of an irrepressible quest.
