I, The Song

I, The Song
Film Composer Tashi Dorji Attending April 6 Screening
Nima is a schoolteacher in rural Bhutan. When an inappropriate video surfaces that appears to include Nima, she is fired from her job and abandoned by her boyfriend. With nothing left to lose, she sets off on a journey to find her doppelganger, who has not only vanished but is somehow embodied in Nima herself.
Director Dechen Roder’s vibrant film features actress Tandin Bidha in a dual role, and introduces viewers to another side of Bhutan in this heartwarming and thought provoking film, reminiscent of Krzysztof Kieslowski’s masterwork The Double Life of Veronique.
