Pema Tseden : 2018
On the path of life, sometimes we meet someone whose dreams overtake our own to the point that they converge. This is a story of revenge and redemption. On an isolated road passing through the vast barren plains of Tibet, a truck driver who has accidentally run over a sheep chances upon a young man who is hitching a ride. As they drive and chat, the truck driver notices that his new friend has a silver dagger strapped to his leg; he comes to understand that this man is out to kill someone who wronged him earlier in life. As he drops the hitchhiker off at a fork in the road, little does the truck driver realise that their short time together has changed everything, and that their destinies are inexorably intertwined. A journey of awakening on the road to the future, occupying a realm where the boundaries between dream and reality are blurred and irrelevant. Pema Tseden's slow-paced and dream-like film, his sixth feature, was winner of the award for Best Screenplay when it premiered in competition in the Orizzonti section at Venice International Film Festival 2018.
