Is the path to enlightenment always straight? And ever upward? If it does, Sun Nyog doesn’t seem to be making much progress. A warm-hearted but naïve Buddhist nun, she can’t disentangle herself from the suicidal drunk whose life she saved one night. The other nuns chastise her lack of discipline, but there’s something in him that Sun Nygo needs to follow. Even she’s surprised where it leads.
