One family and the Tibetan nation are bound together by love, identity and their fight to resist erasure. As TC Tethong, a former deputy to the Dalai Lama, loses his memory, rediscovered archives reveal an unexpected love story with a Canadian named Judy, and their life-long struggle to keep a homeland alive in exile. With rare reflections from an aging Dalai Lama, personal and collective histories intertwine in an endless longing for a home out of reach.
