Dans ce deuxième film de la série, nous suivons un vieux lama et un jeune moine de 13 ans qui se rendent chez un jeune défunt du village voisin pour lui lire les textes du Bardo Thödol afin de l'aider à passer de la mort à la renaissance. Durant 49 jours, ils accompliront ainsi les rites anciens et nous amèneront à mieux comprendre la doctrine bouddhiste, basée sur la recherche de la compassion et de la vérité. La mort est inéluctable. Ce film nous montre comment s'y préparer.
