Synopsis

After 26 years of isolation, Lama Konchog was declared the Greatest Tibetan Mediator of our time. At the end of 2001, he passed away.
Tenzin Zopa, (28) his shy and gifted disciple who served him for 21 years, is unexpectedly appointed by the Dalai Lama to lead the search for the reincarnation of his late Master. The ‘Unmistaken Child’ must be found within 4 years. The ensuing quest transforms Tenzin from a modest servant into a spiritual leader, only to become a servant again once the child is found.
‘Unmistaken Child’ is a real time documentation of a search for a reincarnated master, revealed to us through the eyes of a sincere and passionate disciple.
