On the Road a Smiling Stone
Summary
A Chinese boy stares impassively at the camera, as if it were a contest. A group of people look suspicious, and remain at a distance. Another boy dares to shyly smile.
Tranquil images of a desolate plain, screaming children in a classroom, an immense and deserted mountain landscape, the sound of grazing animals wearing copper bells. The observed and recorded beauty of Tibet, a funeral pyre in Kathmandu, the culture in which death is considered a part of everyday existence.
