To Alexandra

This documentary presents Alexandra David-Néel’s experiences in the Himalayas a century ago, framed through her correspondence home. The film not only highlights her journey but also reflects on the broader historical context shaped by colonial entanglements and conflict.

The narrative intertwines past and present, creating a meditative space that invites contemplation on life, death, and history. By featuring both David-Néel's encounters and the voices of native Tibetans, it offers a multifaceted view of a region affected by violence and memory.
