In a Himalayan polyandrous village in Nepal, newly married and pregnant Pema tries to make the best of her new life. But soon, her first husband Tashi vanishes on the trade route to Lhasa. Accompanied by her de facto husband, the monk Karma, she embarks on a journey into the unforgiving wilderness to find him, evolving into a quest of self-discovery and liberation.

At once intimate and epic, Shambhala takes us to the Himalayas on a spiritual odyssey and a journey of female self-determination against some of the more breathtaking scenery recently captured on screen.

Filmography: The Black Hen (2015).
