In Tibetan Buddhism, Rinpoche refers to a reincarnated monk. They are born again to continue their works from the previous life, and are revered by the people. Angdu, who was born in India¡¯s Ladakh on the border with Tibet, is a Rinpoche. Director Moon Chang-yong filmed the boy¡¯s life from 2009 when he was five years old, until 2016 when he reached 12 years of age. In this process, his teacher Urgyan plays a major role. On their journey to Tibet, the most moving element of the film, they walk the path of enlightenment and penance. As they journey across the snowy fields, Angdu slowly learns the deeper emotions of life. The film was awarded the Grand Prix of the Generation Kplus International Jury at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.
