Storyline
| Plot Summary |
A Buddhist monk, Lama Norbu (Ying Ruocheng), believes that a 10-year-old American boy, Jesse (Alex Wiesendanger), is the reincarnation of his spiritual teacher, Lama Dorje. Jesse's father, Dean (Chris Isaak), and mother, Lisa (Bridget Fonda), are dubious, but following his business partner's suicide, a transformed Dean relents and allows his son to travel to Bhutan. However, there are two other children who the monk thinks may also be the reincarnation of Lama Dorje. Written by yusufpiskin |

Lama Norbu:
[Narrating]
One day Siddhartha heard an old musician on a passing boat speaking to his people. Old Musician: If you tighten the string too much it will snap and if you leave it too slack, it won't play. Lama Norbu: [continues narrating] Suddenly, Siddhartha realized that these simple words held the great truth, and that in all these years he had been following the wrong path. See more » |
