Oneka, a former 12-year-old child soldier escapes into his own fantasy, a world far away from his nightmarish present. The life he seeks fades the tighter he grips. He must choose his path, no matter how painful and difficult, between life and death and family.

This is the story of Kunsang Wangmo, a 100-year-old Buddhist nun exiled from Tibet in 1959 to escape the Chinese occupation.
