The Zanskar Valley, located at 3,500 m of altitude in the Hindu Himalayas, has remained isolated for centuries. A community of nuns lives in there, whose joy and extraordinary generosity contrasts with the harshness of their land. Fifteen years after her first trip to the area, director Caroline Riegel revisits these women and shares their daily life over the course of one winter.
