Himalaya

A salt trader Tinlé (Lhondup), loses his son (Tsamchoe), who led a caravan across the mountains. Blaming the death on one of the caravan's companions, Karma, Tinlé decides to lead the next caravan with his two living sons and grandson, even though he is too old to make the trek. Karma defies the wishes of Tinlé, leaving with his own caravan, and Tinlé soon follows.
