Synopsis
The film evokes a Tibetan family's struggle between religious conservatism and sexual emancipation. Drolkar and her husband have three sons and are sheep farmers. In order to comply with the one-child policy implemented by the Chinese authorities, Drolkar uses condoms as a means of contraception, a practice that is not very widespread in this traditional society.[3]
