Karma was shot in the remote region of Mustang in the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal and follows the journey of a nun. In a nunnery in the high desert mountains, a revered abbess dies, leaving signs that she will be reborn in the precious human form. Prayers and ritual must be done to help her consciousness into its next rebirth, but the nunnery coffers are empty. The senior nuns decide that the only way out is to get back the money loaned out by the nunnery. A nun by the name of Karma decides to take this journey into the capital of Nepal, Kathmandu. The journey becomes a soul searching adventure as the duo starts hearing the infamy of their destination.
Exmussoorie North America tour screening of “Karma” will be held in all major cities in the United States and Canada.
