Opposed to Zoes pursuit of Maya but eager to be a part of his daughters life, Roger becomes entangled in the ups and downs of their relationship.

En 1912, elle escalade les Himalayas et parvient à rencontrer le treizième Dalaï-Lama, puis elle séjourne dans un ermitage où elle mène une vie d'ascète. En 1924, à l'âge de 56 ans, elle est la première Occidentale à pénétrer dans la cité interdite de Lhassa. Alexandra David-Néel ne posera définitivement ses malles qu'à l'âge de 78 ans à Digne dans le sude de la France. Cest là quelle rencontrera celle qui deviendra sa dernière amie, secrétaire et confidente Marie-Madeleine et qui pendant 11 ans au service de lexploratrice a connu les mille et une facettes de ce personnage maintenant mythique. Ce film est une biographie vivante, puisquil suit Marie Madeleine alors quelle entreprend un voyage au Sikkim afin de restituer à un temple une statuette sacrée qui avait été offerte à Alexandra David-Néel par le maharajah de lépoque.
