FAIRYTALE OF KATHMANDU (Ireland/United Kingdom)

 

Neasa follows her idol, a celebrated gay Irish poet, on one of his annual trips to Nepal; a country the poet calls his spiritual home. In Kathmandu he is awaited by his adopted spiritual son. The poet, it turns out, has many young male friends in Kathmandu, where he is well known as a benefactor : he pays for schoolbooks, bicycles and even houses. Unable to believe the allegations about the poet she idolized, the filmmaker is forced to enter the action and confront him.
