Synopsis: With their monastery nestled in the jungle mountains of Myanmar, life cycles peacefully for four young Buddhist monks. One day the abbot (Sayadaw) learns he must depart on a journey through the mountain pass - a journey that may never see his return. Alone and exposed, the four young boys, led by the courageous Ko Yin Witazara, must now fend for themselves. Strange days filled with ghostly phenomena and jarring events shake the boys to the core, dramatically influencing their understanding of this world and beyond, as Witazara must choose whether to follow the master into the pass.

I'm not going to turn into a tiger.

Something must be done before

he turns totally wild and ifs too late.

He'll kill us and won't even be able

to help himself, poor Wezananda.

Well, what do we have here?

Granny,

he drank from a pool in the jungle,

and we're afraid he'll turn into a tiger.

A tiger, eh'? Well, you better come inside.

I'll put the seeds inside.

My stomach. I feel good.

Are you feeling better?

You're better, yes?

He is out of danger.

I can do it myself.

Where could he be?

He's never been late before.

I'm hungry-

Yesterdays rice.

Have some, brother.

I'll be fine.

Homage to the Blessed One,

the Noble One,

the Perfectly Enlightened One.

What's happening?!

What is it?

Hungry ghosts. They're starving like us.

Will they come back?

You have to stay here.

In case someone comes.

And someone has to be around

to watch Awadadema.

Live!

You can survive!

Don't think of the others!

You will find your own way!

Stop following me!

Leave me alone!

Granny?

Granny?

Witazara, what did you

see when you went out there?

What did I see?

Nothing. I didn't see anything.

We need some food.

Come on, Ko Yin Witazara!

Hello! ls anyone there?

Is anyone here?

Everyone has left the village.

Nobody is here.

Please accept my apology

for any mistake I may have made,

physically, verbally or mentally,

and in order to have blessings,

such as long life,

good health and protection,

may I pay homage humbly and respectfully,

to the Triple Gem, the Buddha,

the Dhamma and the Sangha.

For this wholesome deed,

may I be free from four lowly rebirths,

three woeful periods,

the five hindrances...

Ko Yin, what are you doing?

Nothing.

You look after the other boys.

Yes. Sayadaw asked me.

Me, I'm looking for my husband.

His cousin said he is in Taungoo.

I'm going to find him.

He'll want to see his son.

I know ifs a son. I can tell.

Maybe he will be like you.

What happened to your mom and dad?

They died.

Please accept my apology

for any mistake I may have made,

physically, verbally or mentally.

Little brother, how are you?

I'm fine, thank you.

You must visit me in Taungoo, young monk.

Once I reach my husband,

we will have a fine house,

and my son will be growing.

You'll come, yes?

Please accept my apology

for any mistake I may have made,

physically, verbally or mentally...

Thanks for looking after me.

Are we the only ones here?

Yes, we are alone.

Good. I would like to die in peace.

The abbot?

He went to town through the mountain pass.

Mountain pass?

Do you think someone can pass

through the mountain pass?

Did you ever hear the one about the farmer

who became rich at the mountain pass?
