Synopsis

Nima, a teacher in Bhutan, is accused of being in a non-consensual pornographic video. To prove her innocence, she travels to the south of Bhutan in search of her lookalike Meto in the video. As Nima begins to unravel Meto¡¯s life, she becomes entangled in a web of uncertainty. But, as her anger transforms into concern, she realizes she is the only one who can solve Meto¡¯s disappearance.

Program Note

In her sophomore feature, Roder continues to investigate Bhutanese women's agency, weaving an eery doppelgänger narrative into a sombre story of misogynistic abuse. Music plays a central role, infusing the film and serving as a channel of healing and transmission. The protagonist's transformative journey unfolds into a haunting meditation on identity, sorority and resilience. With an assured intensity the film draws strength from its deep cultural roots, opening to much wider spaces. (Benjamin Illos)
