Synopsis

In a Tibetan village, the residents prepare for their difficult annual journey to trade salt for grain, with the community divided in its loyalties between the aging chieftain Tinle and the rebellious young man Karma. Tinle seeks to uphold his authority and maintain adherence to traditional customs, while Karma questions and resists the old man's leadership.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 26

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
