| Video Discription | "The Only Son" is a 2013 Dutch documentary, directed by Simonka de Jong. It is a story about the challenge of keeping Dolpo’s ancient culture alive as the area becomes less isolated. The film centers on Pema’s parents’ expectation that Pema will return to Dolpo, Nepal, when he completes his education, marry a Dolpapa woman, and manage the family’s land. As the only son, this is his role in Dolpo’s traditional culture. Pema is torn between his duty to the family and his desire to live the modern life that he now prefers. The film is primarily shot in Karang, a village at 13,000 feet in Upper Dolpo, one of the most remote areas of Nepal. It has been shown at a number of International Film Festivals.

Pema is offered the opportunity to stay in Holland to study, but his parents keep calling him to come back and get married. Will Pema’s sisters support him in his need to have a life of his own? In August 2011, the siblings make the difficult journey back to their native village to find a solution. Set against the magnificent peaks of the Himalaya, the trek itself will be extreme. At the end of that journey, the family will be reunited in the village, but overshadowed by the conflict between Pema and his parents. The local bride is waiting – will Pema obey his parents? © 2012, A Moondocs B.V Production [tBzqkpF0PaY] |
