When I first sang ganglamedo

I didn't know

my fate would forever be connected to this song...

To Tibet

only after I got to Tibet did I realize theat

this song had changed the life of a woman whose name was ganglamedo

and whose story would mesmerize me and linger with me ever after

maybe every woman who aings this song...

Wouid have experienced heavenly love and torturous wait

20006 lhasa

azar

cilin

you are here

you too

see you later

Thanks

Beauty of almonry

goddess at Buddha's display

have we met before

I encountered a beautiful thief

are you a sound recordist. Or music fan?

Hey?

Why don't you talk?

Did you lock your voice into this black box?

Sorry

I pressed the wrong button

don't go. Beautiful girl

I can help you record any sound in Tibet

Granny. You dropped your money

thank you

"Listening" opens the door to an entirely different world...

When you can't put your feeling into words

there is something you can't hear when you are talking

it can only be felt with your heart

first time in Tibet...

Yet every thing...

People...

Events...

And scenes...

Seems familiar

that day at the Buddha ceremony

I heard the unprecedented sound...

And saw the unbelievable image

being in such a place...

It is possible thata each person who passed you by...

Would also cross path with you in some other world

Young lady

you are going the wrong way

I could never figure out azar

how could he be able to play so many tempos all at once?

Of course

he is our best drummer

hey. Didn't you know that. Bro?

We each have a god with us

I once heard a lama saying

azar's'got seven musical goddesses protecting him

sever?

Tibetans bave more fairy tales than stars in the sky

keep drinking then

Pass me that hat. Will you?

Hey azar. Don't go!

Good work

got a friend over there. From inland

let's have a drinking

another time

got some business there

thank you

Welcome!

Hi. Azar

I want to talk to you

I know you will come back

make me an offer

all I want is your Sincere involvement

I will pay you whatever you ask

you sure?

Yes

you're worth of 10 bars here

but ganglamedo is priceless to you. And me

oh. You!

Stubborn like a yak!

Have some wine?

Sure

Ganglamedo

First night in lhasa...

This voice came to my dream. As usual

for as long as I remember

I've had this dream every night

the piace is called Saint lake

I've never been

yet it felt like my lost voice in the dream

Here comes azar

Azar

you know what time it is?

I have told you...

Quit the other bars

just play at my bar...

You can have half of share. What do you think?

Sorry. Wangten

all I wangt is a bar named ganglamedo

I see

listen. Dorje

if you are my friend. You must help me

I have to get the bar

I need to borrow some money

but I will pay you back in two years

if I couldn't...

I am your man for this life

yes

yes

I will thke your words then

my dear dorje

you are a real friend

sorry for the trouble

ok!

Many thanks!

Bye

Medo

medo

wait for me

Little lama's eyes clear like Tibet's sky

It transcends my own being

I believe I am closer to the lake

it smells like the dream

the cream lamp is twinkling...

As if it perceives before-life and after-life

a long anticipated peace surrounds me

will the prayer work?

I can feel an invisible power leading me to my destiny

Welcome!

Something to drink?

An yu?

An yu!

You are here finally!

Where on earth have you been?

After you left...

The band went crazy...

Looked everywhere for you

I kenw you would come to Tibet...

And find ganglamedo

right?

I am so happy that you are here

however

wherever you want to go

whatever you want to do

just let me know. Ok?

Saint lake?

Lhamu is calling for me

lhamu?

You atill have the same taste. Nince

but you're just too thin now...

Or you'd look like a Tibetan girl even more

oh. Yes

a friend of mine is getting married tomorrow

I am the bartender

should we go together?

Tibetan wedding is full of dance and music

you will like it there

ok?

What do you think?

Quite something. Isn't it?

Sorry

I was too busy...

To hang out with you

You like it?

Azar!

You are so late

how do you do

how do you do

sorry xiaotao

I had a performance

let me introduce

my friend. An yu

the best drummer in lhasa...

And singer too...

My buddy. Azar

xiao tao. Come here

I am coming

xiaotao

I will take care of your friend

I remember

you are that ganglamedo

Buddha...

Forgive me for my rudeness and mischief

Well. Don't forget to call me

an yu. Let's go

can I talk to you?

What?

Why doesn't she talk?

She was an excellent singer...

Lost her voice in an accident

is there anything on her mind?

No

She is having a great time

thank you for that

you seem to care for her a lot

hey

she is your girl friend?

Not your business

Lhamu?

My song was bestowed by god

one day god borrowed it...

And wings grew on it

it flied all the way to Tibet...

To the Saint lake of my dream

Saint lake?

Put it there

thank you

you are welcome, hope to see you next time

see you

Xiaotao

oh

I was looking for you...

To discuss our cooperation

collaborate?

Yes

I want to buy your bar...

And you decide om the price

me?

You are the boss

when I first got here. I looked everywhere for work

and they all said

"only if you are as good as azar"

that name hunted me ever since

now you say. I decide on the price

I am the boss

that's right

but I still lost it to you

I worked like a dog...

So I can afford to but ganglamedo bar

when I finally got the money...

You bought it with a higher bid

that's destiny...

And why we are called buddies

but it's too late now

too late?

I am going to the Saint lake with an yu

the bar is closed for business

closed for business?

Come give me a hand

I finally find my lost voice

it was flying in my dream...

That's lhamu's lake!

She went to the lake by herself?

What? This time of the year?

It is frozen already

you said she is not familiar here

alone and can't talk

that's dangerous!

That's why I am here

you have to help me

me?

Take her to the lake for me. Ok?

Me?

If I do it. Would you sell me the bar?

You know

I bought it...

So I can wait for someone...

For an yu

now she is here

though she doesn't tell me

I know she doesn't love me

xiaotao

don't bother to say anything

just tell me

will you help me...

Or not?

Of course

I will

but I need a favor from you

what is it?

Your bar

cheers

Excuse me. How do I get to Saint lake?

That way

that way? Thank you

An yu

You are going the wrong way

lhamu's lake is over thers

azar

can I go now?

Don't you want to go?

Just joking

you want to be my shadow?

See you

have a good trip

You heartless woman

I came all the way to find you

yet you ignore me

want to sit down there for a second?

My song was bestowed by god

one day god borrowed it...

And wings grew on it

it flied all the way to Tibet...

To the Saint lake of my dream

I heard a voice

lhamu is calling for me

Almost every Tibetan can sing ganglamedo

but only lhamu gives it soul

it's only a legend. About lhamu and the lake

so you go there for lhamu. Because of a legend?

You sure you can find her?

Azar lost me

in Tibet

I've been called by the mountains...

Appeased by the winds...

And led by the songs

all this isn't enough?

Can I really find lhamu at Saint lake?

Did an yu sleep well?

Ok!

Time to hit the road

Let's go!

Don't you welcome a free guide?

Let's go!

Where are you going?

Home. Can you give us a lift?

Sure. Come on

get on. Careful

careful

come on. Little girl

ok

Is your family member in the monastery?

My youngest son is a lama there

lama?

Right

I see

they are family

visiting their son at the monastery

you wouldn't guess

their son is a lama

you ready. Grandpa

yes

I have to go now. Bye

thank you a lot. Have a safe drive

I will

bye

uncle

thank you

an yu

this is our Tibetan butter tea

try some

what do you think?

Thank you. Kid

One thing I don't understand

why can't you face your own singing?

I must have offended the Buddha

so she sent me a woman who can't argue with me

Time to chip in. The dice can't wait!

You are a tame husband

where is the dice?

Look for it

your wife took it

see you later

an yu

an yu

wait for me. An yu

an yu

You are crying

you really care for me?

An yu. I'm sorry

This is a girl named ganglamedo

you made it popular song. Before you even came to Tibet

but you don't really know the meaning of it

only I know the story

The girl named ganglamedo...

Was the one who my grandpa loved for his whole life

people told me...

He went to lhasa one year

at a bar...

He fell in love with a girl

60 years ago ganglamedo bar

Afterward. I learned they were dating at some place

probably on his way to that place

All these years

I never knew where this woman was. This ganglamedo

or even still alive

but I know this painting

it belongs to the bar...

To its home...

Xiaotao's ganglamedo bar...

That's where it belongs

I am touched by this sad yet beautiful love story that goes with ganglamedo

although what exactly it means to me

I don't know

azar looks almost unearthly which attracts me

looking at his saddened eyes

I know I'm drawn to him...

Wanting to penetrate his world

are our lives destined...

Because of this song?

Ever since I heard grandpa's story

I told myself

I would only tell this story to my own ganglamedo

there is a saying from my town

the gracious beauty...

Proud like an eagle

yet when carried on a man's shoulder...

She will follow him forever

an yu

your eyes told me

you do care about me

An yu. An yu

Azar's passion permeated me

I spent my best times...

In the beautiful boly mountains of Tibet

an yu

I felt I was the happiest person on earth

Buddha bless you!

Have my blessing. Bottom up!

Let's drink

good

Hello? Oh, yuzhen

what?

Xiaotao is leaving lhasa?

What about his bar?

Sold to whom?

What?

You don't know either?

What?

Is his mobile off?

Don't worry about me

When men drink. Women stay away!

You can hold your liquor. Let's drink more

drink up!

An yu

I am going back to lhasa

An yu

I can't take you to the salnt lake

but I con't leave you alone, either

so, you have to come with me

An yu

an yu

give it to me

Ganglamedo ganglamedo...

My ganglamedo has gone!

Xiaotao. Who did you sell the bar to?

Why can't you wair for me?

Don't stare at me

it is all because of you

lhamu is calling me

my voice is borrowed by god

you are full of illusion

what does lhamu have to do with you?

You came all the way from Beijing...

To look for the Saint lake

you are crazy!

What are you ding?

Ah

I want to walkwith you for a bit

but I can't walk with you for lift

My ideal and your fantasy...

Are both very beautiful

beautiful

we couldn't...

Let them go

An yu

An yu

An yu

an yu

An yu

an yu

An yu, I have already left lhasa

just like when you left Beijing

I am leaving the bar to azar

he is the perfect owner for ganglamedo

thank you sharing the love story of ganglamedo

wish that tangka paninting bless all the people in the waiting

and by the way...

Tell azar I will go see him play

this seven-musical-goddesses-blessed bastard!

This is grandma lhamu

she sits here everyday...

Facing the lake

Did you lock your voice into this black box?

Why don't you talk?

Did you lock your voice into this black box?

Why don't you talk?

Did you lock...

Azar

I have come to the holy lake at long last

I'm looking at lhamu this moment

I have so much words to tell you

but where are you?

Nima

nima

Lhamu

Lhamu

Grandma

grandma

lhamu! Grandma!

Lhamu! Grandma!

She lived in lhasa when she was young

and was the best singer there

then a painter from kangqu fell in love with her

My grandpa is nima

he was the famous painter from kangqu

people told me

he went to lhasa one year...

Fell in love with a girl

after his return...

He drew a painting for her

But her father married her to aristocrat

she ran away...

On her wedding night

She and grandpa must have hah a place to meet in their plan

probably on his way to that place

he got lost...

And fell off the oliff that day

She was supposed to reunion with that painter here in a year

but year after year...

He never showed up

and she waited here for all her life

when people found him...

And carried him home

he got lost his memory...

Coundn't remember anything

just paint the same tangka picture again and again

but never was able to paint the girl's face

a fantastic singer at young age...

She was renowned in lhasa

no one has ever heard her singing...

After she buried herself here

but anyhow. For this song...

She was called-ganglamedo

time drifts after like water flows

I still remember

whem grandpa's soul departing his body...

His eyss shined...

Held up this tangka painting...

And uttered one name...

Ganglamedo

Facing the lake...

I finslly found peace

fate has indeed decided my destiny with ganglamedo

it gave me this song...

Then took my voice

I got back my voice...

Then missed my love

learned story of waiting...

And start anther endless waiting

this is the story, the story of ganglamedo...

A story of a waiting that lasted for 60 years...

Of a sadness that belongs to eternity
