Bhutan / 2022 / 22' / Documentario / Italian première

Phuntsho Tshering is Bhutan's only glaciologist. Every year he travels for days on foot to the remotest corners of the Bhutanese Himalayas to measure glaciers that are melting rapidly due to climate change. Yangchen, the 11-year-old daughter, has seen her father disappear for months every year since she can remember. During his difficult hikes, Phuntsho's only relief is to share his adventures with his daughter through videos he makes for her on his mobile phone.
