The movie is about one of the most popular Tibetan folk songs, Ganglamedo ("Snow lotus"), about two girls and two men. The story begins sixty years ago, in Tibet. A local girl, who sings the Ganglamedo, calls herself by same name. She is in love with a Tibetan man, Acuo, and they plan to marry. She disappears the night before the marriage is to take place. Sixty years later, a Chinese singer, An Yu, comes to Tibet to find her lost voice. She meets young Tibetan man Anzha, who helps her get to Lake Namucuo. One day An Yu meets an old woman, Lamu, and discovers she is Ganglamedo.—Tashi Dawa
