The film follows two recovering addicts, Boróka, a high school girl from a broken home, and Szilveszter, a young man struggling to come to terms with his sexuality, during their first year at the Megálló Recovery Centre in Budapest, Hungary. Megalló is run by former addicts looking to make a positive impact by using innovative methods such as rock climbing to overcome addiction.
Dolma is the Tibetan name of Tara, a Buddhist female deity, and means 'she who saves'. Dolma is regarded as a Bodhisattva of compassion and action. She is known as the mother of all buddhas. Our team felt that Dolma relates to the message we would like to convey via our movie and used her name in the documentary title. One of the main legends about her origin as a bodhisattva tells a story of a young princess who lived in a different world millions of years ago. Her name is Jnanachandra.
