Min Bahadur Bham
Korean Premiere
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 monk de facto husband, Karma, she embarks on a journey into the unforgiving wilderness to find him, evolving into a quest of self-discovery and liberation.
In SHAMBHALA, audiences embark on a heartfelt journey through the breathtaking Himalayas, exploring the life of a woman navigating a polyandrous relationship. This poignant tale weaves together love, sacrifice, and spirituality at 6,200 meters, featuring mostly local non-actors.
