Set in the rural plains of Lesotho, the film documents a day in the life of children living in a Buddhist orphanage funded by a Taiwanese charity. The orphans’ confined and strictly regimented lives – depicted in a sequence of long, trance-like chanting scenes – leads to an exploration of shifting power relations and moral value systems.
