Every twelve years, in the forest at the foot of the Himalayas, selected individuals don masks, conceal their gender, and abandon their worldly identities, living an extraordinary life of isolation for two weeks as if they were dead. In the waiting days, the songs are endless, the dances never cease; some meditate in tranquility, while others, unable to let go of the mundane, pry into each other's backgrounds, unable to resist primal desires. This is the boundary between the real and the unreal, the gap between life and death; the removal of the mask leads to destruction. The acclaimed Bhutanese director Chhing Dorji, known for "The Cup on the Mountain," transforms the quest for spiritual enlightenment into a modern rural fable, blending legends, Zen stories, stage performances, and chants into another exploration of Siddhartha. Amid the tug-of-war between humanity and divinity, he sings the timeless song of life. Guest appearances by Zhou Xun and Tony Leung add extra charm. "Sometimes, we must create illusions to let the world see the truth" — Chhing Dorji
