Samdo Sherpa

Overview

As one family’s lives interweave under Everest’s shadow, the beloved matriarch Samdo Sherpa, so as not to be a burden to her family, moved to Kathmandu after her husband’s (Icefall Doctor leader, Angnima Sherpa) premature death to become a Buddhist nun in a monastery. She is now in a state of limbo, discouraged to leave of her own free will and unable to see some of her children who desperately miss her. All that remains is the love for her family and the resolve and inner strength to die with dignity.
