In the foothills of the Himalayas, Lobsang Phuntsok, a Tibetan monk, has been leading
 a children ’ s community called Jhamtse Gatsal meaning the ‘ garden of love and
 compassion. ’ Children living outside of family care for various reasons come to this
 place and become members of a larger alternative family. Among them, a five-year-
 old mischief-maker, Tashi is the newest arrival. She has wounds too deep to be healed
 as her mother recently passed away and her alcoholic father abandoned her. Although
 it is a documentary about healing and mercy, this film neither insists on nor tries to
 teach something. Instead, it simply shows the way in which these children help each
 other living in a community in harmony with nature. Without preaching through tough
 passages, it makes us reflect on the true meaning of life as well as of mercy.
