Storia
Samsara tells the story of Tashi, a young Tibetan monk who has dedicated his life to achieving spiritual enlightenment within his monastery. However, when he discovers that he has a wife and child from before taking up monastic life, he leaves the monastery to be with them, thus succumbing to worldly temptations. The narrative follows Tashi's struggle between his newfound family life and his commitment to his religious calling.
Riassunto
Directed by Pan Nalin, Samsara is a spiritual love-story set against the majestic landscape of Ladakh in the Himalayas. The film explores themes of faith, family, and personal temptation through the journey of its protagonist, Tashi. While the plot details vary between sources, both agree that Tashi's quest for enlightenment clashes with his worldly desires and responsibilities, leading to a twist ending.
