What is more important, satisfying one thousand desires or conquering just one? A spiritual quest and love-story set in the majestic landscape of Ladakh – one man's struggle to find spiritual enlightenment by renouncing the world.
After completing three years of solitary meditation Tashi returns to his monastery to continue his studies. Despite his devotion to spiritual development Tashi unexpectedly finds himself experiencing a profound sexual awakening which will force him to make a choice between his monastic vocation and a life in Samsara. Choosing the latter – since in order to renounce the world, one must first experience it – he marries Pema, a beautiful young girl he met at a harvest blessing, so beginning a new life full of unexpected joys and wonders. But just as Pema surprises him with the depth of her own spirituality, Tashi encounters challenges and sorrows for which he is unprepared. With each of his desires comes also a suffering he is unable to bear.
