The Sweet Requiem

Dolkar (Tenzin Dolker in her acting debut) is a 26-year-old living in exile in Delhi. An unexpected encounter with a figure from her past sets off a flurry of memories she had long repressed regarding the journey that brought her here. Dolkar was only eight when she and her father left their Tibetan home in a desperate attempt to start anew in a safer land. As memories of what became a disastrous expedition take shape, Dolkar resolves to confront the man she believes responsible. THE SWEET REQUIEM authentically captures the life-and-death stakes of the real-life escape across the border, but the film's deeper insights emerge from the complex and shifting allegiances Dolkar must navigate in exile.
