Together with his sisters, one of whom was adopted by a Dutch couple and grew up in the Netherlands, Pema goes to visit the village where he grew up. The only way to their family's home is a 10-day trek through the mountains. With spectacular cinematography of the mountainous landscape as its background, this documentary presents a sensitive generational conflict: Pema and his Westernized sisters don't want to abandon their parents, but they also look forward to their own modern existence.

I felt the struggle between the parents and the son, they sent to the city for a better life and now they want them to come back and take care of the parents. They have gotten used to a life in the city and it is unfair to expect them to uproot their lives at command. I feel bad for the eldest sister, she looks older than 26. And what a pity to want to keep birthing just for survival

I just watched a documentary "the last cavemen". The head of the family is a man living with his family and his grand children in a cave in the forest of Palawan island of Philippines. His reasoning, my ancestors lived like this and I now live like them, my children will be. What would you do if you have parents with such mentality?

She said "they said because you...". She probably went to a doctor and the doctor could have said that the stress could be affecting her health and the reason for the stress could be her worrying about her only son not wanting to follow their traditions. We all agree that stress can affect your health, right? Like I said in another comment, oriental Asian traditions and culture are very very different from western traditions, culture and values. For example, in some Asian countries, the oldest son will not be able to go to school and work hard so the younger children will be able to get an education. And he is also responsible for taking care of the parents when they're old. It's a choice but it's also a responsibility in that culture that they were raised in. For ex. If you were the oldest son and your parents had to work all day away from home and you would be responsible to taking care of the younger ones. They're not your children, but the right thing to do would be that you take that role. It's something similar but that guy in the doc, case was far more important.

This is my long lasting happiness for both my parents as well. When I grew older I realised this: My parents' happiness is my happiness, my happiness is my parents' happiness or vice versa. PEMA IS STILL YOUNG IN THIS FILM. HOPE REGRET WON'T CONTINUE FOR HIM. NOT SURE IF HE IS HAPPY LIVING WITHOUT PARENTS' ABSENCE.!!! THEY LIVE ONCE IN OUR LIFE TIMES. ONCE THEY ARE GONE, NO CHANCE TO EVEN SAY SORRY.!!!

This is a beautiful documentary, somewhat painful to watch too. Parents did not ask their children before bringing them into the world, the children should not be a retirement plan for parents, especially when the children have to give up their entire comfortable life for a life full of hardships and isolation many times, it's too big a sacrifice to ask for, like sacrificing their life. The parents should be understanding enough to settle in the city near their children if they are worried about old age.

I see my son and daughter several times a week despite them both having their own homes, kids, jobs and relationships. I'm living with my 88 yr old grandmother so she can stay in her own home and my mother and brother come over or we go there for diner a couple times a week. So understand that you don't speak for me or my family.

Prime example of a manipulating mother, emotionally a b u s i v e. She tries so hard to guilt trip him and his sisters. The Holland adoptive mother is a good mom to his sister. Mothers like these wonder why their children don't talk to them, she was more conserned about helpers than a better life for her kids. If you find yourself in a similar situation don't walk, run, run as fast as you can to chase your dreams.

It's a totally different mentality and culture. You cannot judge through the view of our modern and western values. For example when the father mentions that his family lived there for generations(Maybe for centuries) and thats how its supposedto be. That's how a culture dies off, the people start to leave the traditions of the village and it dies out. Living in big cities with a mix of cultures, the deepest and highest values of each and all cultures are watered-down over time. You would be the selfish one if you wouldn't feel torn apart, conflicted between taking care of your aging parents or the choice of following your desires. If you're still young, that's understandable but once you mature enough, you'll know it was not easy for the guy and the little sister to choose.

I've seen many parents in this same situation support their kids. They are clearly miserable and want to share that misery with their kids. Children have the right to choose their own path, they don't owe the parents nothing, they didn't ask to come to this world. This is gonna fall on deaf ears but I don't care. My message is still the same. Anyone in this situation, please choose to chase your dreams if your parents truly love you they will support your decisions.

When I mentioned another culture being different, I meant oriental Asian culture. Which is an entirely different culture. The Asians idea of shame and honor, in my opinion, are not understood by westerners and even some younger generations of Asians themselves. For example when samurais would commit s*icide because they have shamed their familys name. If you do not truly understand traditions, culture and the history of your bloodline, you don't know yourself better than the next person knows about you. But I did not disagree that the guy could also follow his heart, as he did because it's an old doc, and leave the family. I just pointed out that it was not a simple decision for him personally.
