A group of Tibetans make a 1200 kilometer pilgrimage to Lasa.

An astonishing journey of redemption, faith, and devotion. Acclaimed filmmaker Zhang Yang (Shower) blends documentary and fiction to follow a group of Tibetan villagers who leave their families and homes to make a Buddhist 'bowing pilgrimage' -- laying their bodies flat on the ground after every few steps -- along the 1,200 mile road to Lhasa, Tibet's holy capital. Though united in their remarkable devotion, each of the travelers embarks on this near impossible journey for very personal reasons. One traveler needs to expunge bad family karma, a butcher wants to cleanse animal bloodstains from his soul, another at his life's end, hopes to break the chain of cause and effect determined by his life's actions. Stunningly photographed over the course of an entire year, Paths of the Soul is a mesmerizing study of faith that will inspire viewers to reflect on their own journey through life.
