Thangka
2012, Tibetan. Directed by Hasi Chaolu.
Dhondup has dedicated his whole life to the art of thangka painting. Before completing his final masterpiece, he unexpectedly discovers he will soon go blind. His son has always wanted to serve as his successor, but Dhondup refuses to accept his Westernized painting style. Frustrated with his son, Dhondup searches for his late thangka teacher’s reincarnation and identifies him as a young disabled man from the grassland who knows nothing about painting. Is he really the thangka master's reincarnation?
