The flowers of Dingri

[CASTELLANO]

SYNOPSIS

The flowers of Dingri is a documentary film that tries to show the lifes of three

Tibetan Buddhist Lamas over 80 years old who are living in exile in a

monastery in Nepal the last five decades, after the invasion of Tibet that China

made in 1949 .

The film will try to delve into the soul of a people living in exile, deprived by

taxation and how to live with the sufferings, sorrows, joys, memories, hopes ...

from a poetic point of view to narrate from within themselves all the feelings and

sensations they feel, after having lived most of his life in the distance.

The intention of this project arises is to show the absence from home for

taxation, the loss on being exiled by force in which only manages to stay intact

in a spiritual way through the memories they have of their lifes and experience

in Tibet, his homeland, with an introspective and poetic form. It helps the

contemplation of all big and small things, from sunsets to be a reflection of the

end of their lifes to the most minute and secret reflection of a life led to

contemplation. Also, the film reflects the change of generation and how it

compares in a subtle generational changes of young monks who see life in a

different way influenced by modernity and how this transition is a time to absorb

everything in a living in the monastery, although the story is focused on all

those memories and feelings that are lost in time, for failing to live the life they

touched and how you feel so spiritually amputee.

COLLABORATIONS ** **

With this idea, attempting to make a story that reflects feelings from a poetic

perspective, both the voice and the images have to lead to a very personal and

profound message, so that story is being carried out by the runner Planeta

Prize of literature Salvador Compan, which is shaping the voices writing the

texts from the presence of poetic concepts that will shape the thoughts and

memories of the Lamas. In turn, the voice will be embodied by various actors

and actresses like Kevin Gage (which has worked with Robert de Niro and Al

Pacino in Michael Mann's Heat), Peter Coyote (has worked with Steven

Spielberg, Steven Sodelberg, Roman Polanski, Sydney Pollack and Barry

Levinson) and Bénédcite Loyen (she has worked on films of Jean Luc Godard,

Eric Rohmer or Tony Gatilf). All the material is shooted so it only needs the

postproduction work.

Also we are negociating for the licence for using the music of R. Carlos Nakai

and Ludovico Einaudi. They agree with giving the licence so it only needs some

time to get it for the film.
