In 2001, when his master Lama Konchog passed away, Tenzin Zopa, his disciple of 21 years was bereft and lonely. At the instruction of the Dalai Lama, Zopa is searching for his master's reincarnation, who is expected to be embodied in a little boy and might be anywhere in the world. This “unmistaken child” must be found before it becomes too difficult to remove him from his parents' care---within four years. Tenzin sets off through breathtaking landscapes and remote traditional Tibetan villages where he performs rarely seen ritualistic tests designed to determine the likelihood of reincarnation. This documentary is a beguiling, surprising, touching, even humorous experience. Winner of the 3 International awards.
