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 feature was winner of the award for Best Screenplay when it premiered in competition in the Orizzonti section at Venice International Film Festival 2018.
