Synopsis
KADRIN:
A journey to success is
a short film based on
true-life story of Ngawang Samdup, who struggles to
fulfil his dream of getting a decent education and to
be a good citizen of Tibet. It’s a heart-rending
story
of Samdup’s twenty years exile in India and separation
from his family. In the meantime his beloved father
passes away in Tibet. Samdup’s only recourse is
to
pray for his deceased father.
He
is one of the few lucky ones who eventually meet
his mother in Nepal after decades of silence and
anxious wait.
There
are hundreds of Tibetans who have neither met
nor heard from family members since they left Tibet.
KADRIN: a journey to success in essence depicts
stories of every estranged Tibetan children, their
torment and their hopes.
