The film documents the two Kalachakra initiations held in 2002, presided over by the fourteenth Dalai Lama. The first, in Bodhgaya, India, was disrupted by the Dalai Lama’s illness. Later that same year, the event was held again, this time without an interruption in Graz, Austria. The film’s first location is Bodhgaya, the site of the Mahabodhi Temple and the Bodhi tree. Herzog then turns to the pilgrimage to Mount Kailash, and after that the film focuses on the second gathering in Graz. Herzog includes a personal interview with the Dalai Lama, as well as a Tibetan former political prisoner, who served 37 years in a Chinese prison for his support of the International Tibet Independence Movement.
