...self-conscious quirkiness of a career cleaning up corpses could present a trap, but Jeffs (best known for the Plath biopic Sylvia) does her best to steer around it. Rose and Norah have one nose-holding, cringing, slapstick-filled scene in a dead woman's house, but a sense of respect for the departed pervades the movie. "Do you think they loved each other?" Norah asks, surveying the bathroom where a murder-suicide took place. "Yes," Rose says with certainty.

Their circumstances reflect a half-century of Tibetan-exile existence in India: self-segregated by exile leaders fearful of its losing its cultural identity, the community has not assimilated into India. Many among the younger exiles can't wait for the first opportunity to return to Chinese-ruled Tibet - or a chance to move to any country other than India. (See pictures of Tibet...
