In the Pin valley, one of the most remote areas of the Indian Himalayas, the Buchens offer one of the few entertainment available to local residents. At once actors, shamans and exorcists, they move from village to village to perform their art. A Buddhist tradition dating back to the 15th century, which Sonam, the Buchen leader, passes on to his son. The Buchens are also the guardians of an amazing and dramatic ritual called the Ceremony of the Stone.
