Somewhere between 'The Story of the Weeping Camel' and Gus van Sant's 'Elephant', this intense revenge drama takes place at a high school in the Himalayas.

A clever meditation about making films, and about assuming responsibility for the result. The two versions, which are both shown at the festival, can be seen together - or each on its own.
