Kang rinpoche se začne z vsakodnevnim ritualom vaščanov malega tibetanskega okraja Mángkāng Xiàn ter njihovo skupno pripravo na sedem mesecev trajajoče in vsega skupaj 1200 kilometrov dolgo romanje iz rodne vasi do svetega mesta Lhasa po kitajski državni avtocesti 318 (ta vsega skupaj meri okrog 5500 km), po vseh štirih (»kowtowing«), skozi mraz, dež, blato, sneg in mimoidoče kamionarje, ki so edini indikator nekega oddaljenega modernega sveta.

An astonishing journey of redemption, faith, and devotion. Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yang (Shower, Getting Home) blurs the border between documentary and fiction to follow a group of Tibetan villagers who leave their families and homes in the small village of Nyima to make a Buddhist "bowing pilgrimage"-laying their bodies flat on the ground after every few steps-along the 1,200 mile road to Lhasa, the holy capital of Tibet. Though united in their remarkable devotion, each of the travelers embarks on this near impossible journey for very personal reasons. One traveler needs to expunge bad family karma, a butcher wants to cleanse animal bloodstains from his soul, another nearing his life's end, hopes that the prostrations will break the chain of cause and effect determined by his life's actions.

Stunningly photographed over the course of an entire year, with non-professional actors and no script, PATHS OF THE SOUL is a mesmerizing study of faith that will inspire viewers to reflect on their own journey through life. [Icarus Films]
