Summary:
Set partly in ancient Tibetan society, where evil spirits mingle with the lives of humans, and partly in modern-day Tibet, 'The Song of King
Gesar
' tells of two lives inextricably entwined.
Gesar
, the youngest and bravest of the gods, has been sent down to the human world to defeat the demons that plague the lives of ordinary people and threaten to enslave them. Jigmed is a young shepherd, who is visited by dreams of
Gesar
, of gods and of ancient battles while he sleeps.
