A haunting mystery set against the backdrop of the Himalayas, The Last Ritual is the latest gripping crime thriller from director Pradeep Shahi, arriving on UK digital this August.
After building buzz on the international film festival circuit, this award-winning psychological thriller brings together spiritual tradition and modern-day murder mystery, all set within the striking landscapes of Nepal.
When well-known filmmaker Daya Lama disappears, the media frenzy that follows only adds pressure on Detective Rakshya, who is battling personal demons while trying to get to the truth. Her investigation is complicated, not just by the high-profile nature of the case, but by her own struggles with addiction and a past that continues to haunt her.
Meanwhile, Daya's adopted son Dhiraj sets off on a journey of his own, carrying a mysterious blue bag deep into the Himalayas. As both stories unfold, hidden motives and long-held secrets begin to surface, drawing Rakshya and Dhiraj into a tangled mystery rooted in culture, belief and betrayal.
With a focus on the rarely seen spiritual practice of sky burial, The Last Ritual promises a tense, atmospheric ride through loss, faith and the search for truth.
Out on digital 11 August from Miracle Media.
