Rinzin Dolma, a Buddhist nun, tells us about her history: her life and beliefs, and how she came to be a nun. But her future is not more complicated. As she ages and her health is not what it once was, she starts to think about who will look after her. Her belief is shaken when she considers the challenges of finding someone to come to such an isolated place to look after her in the 21st century. How will Rinzin Dolma’s fears and hopes be reconciled?
