Karma: Journey to Consciousness

As the entirety of humanity is afflicted with this terrible pandemic, altering the experiences of all our lives, I am happy to share a small film we made over a decade ago that raises (rather appropriately at this time) a big philosophical question: ‘what is more important: inner development or outward social action?’ In a nunnery in the high desert mountains of Mustang, a revered abbess dies, leaving signs that she will be reborn in the precious human form once more. Prayers and rituals must be done to help her consciousness into its next rebirth, but the nunnery coffers are empty. The senior nuns decide that the only way out is to retrieve money loaned out by the nunnery. The two nuns assigned this mission are Karma, a free-spirited nun, and her opposite, Sonam, a more by the book nun.
