Bhutanese Australian co-production The Container has been chosen for the Short Film Corner of the Cannes Film Festival.
Set in 1980s Bhutan and based on director Jamyang Dorji’s unique set of experiences, The Container illustrates a mother’s persistent devotion to her child. With baby in arms, the mother walks for days from a remote village in order to claim government-supplied medicine for the seriously ill child.
