The movie tells the story of Hannah Nydahl and her adventure bringing Tibetan Buddhism to the West.
From her idealistic roots as a hippie in Copenhagen, the film follows Hannah and her husband Ole to the city of Kathmandu, where in 1968 they became two of the first Western students of His Holiness the 16th Karmapa – the first consciously reincarnated lama of Tibet. At the heart of the film lies an inspiring love story of Hannah and Ole and their unwavering dedication to bring Buddhism to the West.‘Hannah’ explores how the Buddhist ideal of freedom, in all its forms, is more relevant today than ever.
