Sinopsis(1)
In a remote area in Bhutan, the chief monk at a Buddhist temple goes missing. The police suspect murder, and detective Kinley is assigned to investigate. The main suspect in the case is a woman named Choden, and Kinley tries to track her down. The villagers call her a "demoness" and spread all kinds of rumors about her. In search of clues, Kinley approaches Choden undercover. She tells him the tale of the female goddess "Dakini", and he is mesmerized by this story. Director Dechen Roder attempts to bring the tale of the goddess "Dakini" into the present world through a story about Choden. Countless "Dakinis" throughout history were women who broke out of the chains of marriage and social customs that restrained them to learn and improve themselves. But by ejecting the social norms of their day, they were portrayed as seductive and demonic femme fatales. That is also the image of Choden in this cinematic revelation.
