Lhari is a young bride sent to a country village to live with her in-laws, who increasingly use her as a servant and even lock her out at night, with even her husband not daring to intervene. Lhari decides to find her own, quintessentially Tibetan solution to her situation. The Girl Lhari is Director Rigdan Gyamtso's first film.

Rigdan Gyatso grew up in Jian Zha, Qinghai Province, China. He graduated from Qinghai Nationalities College in 1992 and currently works for Zen Bu Cultural Company as a film director.
