A deep discussion on living in harmony with nature,
Snow Leopard is an arthouse drama that meditates on the subject of animal preservation. It presents a deep poetic exploration into the transcendental from a Tibetan context. It is the final film of writer-director Pema Tseden, who passed away last year before the film's release.
Set in a village in the deep Tibetan mountains, a snow leopard sneaks into a sheep pen and kills nine sheep.
Jinpa, a local shepherd, locks the snow leopard in his sheep pen and vows to kill the snow leopard unless there's financial compensation for his loss.
