Set in the small Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan, Nima, a schoolteacher, faces scandal when an explicit video featuring another woman who looks exactly like her surfaces online. In an effort to clear her name, she travels to the south of the country in order to find her doppelgänger, Meto, only to learn that Meto has disappeared. Locals soon start believing that Nima is in fact Meto’s ghost. The village elders suggest singing a particular sacred song in order to solve the mystery. I, The Song is a film about music, identity, love, and a culture precariously balancing on the threshold of a digital future.
