Movie description:
Part one of »Bardsongs« tells the story of a father and his son. On a daily basis they collect waste plastic in the streets of the old Indian city Jodhpur in Rajasthan.

The last part of this triptych of folk tales is about a father who travels from Lamayuru in Ladakh, India through the Himalayas together with his daughter in order to sell their dzo. Everyone they meet on their journey has some sort of criticism or advice, about how they should treat their dzo, how they should treat each other, how to get a place to sleep in a monastery, which route to take, etc. The father is by nature inclined to lend an ear to one and all, this to the mounting indignation of his daughter. When the daughter, the end of their journey being in sight, confronts him he finally changes course ...
