HONEYGIVER AMONG THE DOGS (Released)

Mystery

Language：Dzongkha

Story：

An elderly abbess disappears from her nunnery in remote Bhutan. The police suspects foul play, possibly murder. Kinley, a disbelieving yet sympathetic police detective is sent from the capital to investigate and apprehend their prime suspect：Choden, a young mysterious woman labeled by the village as a "demoness" due to her solitary and seductive ways. When Choden absconds before Kinley arrives, he is instructed to find and befriend her without revealing his identity, as she may lead him to more evidence or perhaps even the abbess. While Choden and Kinley travel together on foot, through forests, and past temples and villages, Choden entrances Kinley with seemingly random stories of historical dakinis (or enlightened Buddhist women of supernatural powers and wisdom also known as "sky-dancers"). Kinley soon finds himself torn between intense attraction for Choden and intense suspicion.

Once in Thimphu, Choden draws him further into a convoluted web of crime, greed, magic and dakinis. When Kinley learns that there are others following him, he no longer knows who or what to trust. He slowly realizes that Choden's stories of historical dakinis might provide the very "clues" needed to understand the investigation, yet first he might have to surrender to both Choden's charms and a belief in the historical and supernatural.
