After nearly 60 years in exile, 100-year-old Tibetan nun Kunsang Wangmo - known as “Mola” (grandmother) - dreams of returning home to die in Tibet. As her family in Switzerland navigates the complex visa process, they document their final days together. When permission is finally granted, Mola returns to Tibet but her journey is far from over. As unexpected events unfold, the question remains: will Mola be allowed to stay in the homeland she never stopped longing for?
