The film has a straightforward chronology with events spanning from 1937 to 1959; the setting is Tibet, except for brief sequences in China and India. It begins with the search for the 14th mindstream emanation of the Dalai Lama. After a vision by Reting Rinpoche (the regent of Tibet) several lamas disguised as servants discover a promising candidate: a child born to a farming family in the province of Amdo, near the Chinese border.

Ce film fait le point sur la situation après 50 années d'un combat pour la liberté des Tibétains, depuis le Soulèvement tibétain de 1959 du 10 mars 1959. Cet évènement fut la cause du départ du 14e dalaï-lama du Tibet fuyant pour échapper à une possible arrestation par l'administration de la République populaire de Chine. Le film présente ses responsabilités en tant que chef spirituel et leader politique et traite des enjeux géopolitiques du Tibet.
