Synopsis

Cold.Barren.Remote.As a child in calcutta, this was all Sugato Mukherjee knew of Ladakh. A picture of his grandfather's wall showed nothing more than stark hills and an ancient palace under a dark sky.

Three decades later, it surprises him with raw, uncluttered beauty. The journey soon assumes multiple patterns, intertwined with its forbidding landscapes and an austere flow of life. Beyond its primal ruggedness, this antique terrain lets him into its interiors, which are at once sublime and fragile. In depths, he begins his quest for his own slice of divine emptiness.
