"A poetic tale of a friendship that crosses species, and of the coexistence between humans and animals that rests on shaky balances. Snow Leopard has, despite himself, become the romantic farewell to this world for director Pema Tseden, who has always sung the praises of his land and his people, and who will have passed away on the shoulders of a snow leopard." (Rita Andretti)

In a Tibetan prefecture in China, a regional TV crew treks through the mountains to reach the home of a sheep farmer who has captured a snow leopard after it killed nine of his animals. With them is a young monk known for his special connection with these impressive, endangered felines. As the farmer threatens to kill him, the monk recalls a past he shares with the leopard.
