The Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR), Tibet or Xizang for short, also called the Xizang Autonomous Region (Tibetan: བོད་རང་སྐྱོང་ལྗོངས།; Chinese: 西藏自治区) is a province-level autonomous region of the People's Republic of China (PRC). It was created in 1965 on the basis of an administrative region which had been incorporated into the PRC in 1951.
Within the People's Republic of China, Tibet is identified with the Autonomous Region, which includes about half of ethno-cultural Tibet, including the traditional provinces of Ü-Tsang and the western half of Kham. The borders of the present Autonomous Region coincide roughly with the actual zone of control of the then-government of Tibet in 1950. The Tibet Autonomous Region is the second-largest province-level division of China by area, spanning over 1,200,000 square kilometres (460,000 sq mi), after Xinjiang, and due to its generally harsh terrain, is the least densely populated provincial-level division of the PRC.
Modern scholars still debate on whether the Chinese Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644) had sovereignty over Tibet prior to the conquest of Tibet in 1642. While Tibet has formally been a part of China since 1644 as part of the Qing Dynasty, from 1912 to 1950 Tibet was dissolved from China proper as a result of the 1911 Revolution and Japanese occupation during WW2. Other parts of ethno-cultural Tibet (eastern Kham and Amdo) have also been under the administration of the Chinese dynastic government since the mid-eighteenth century; today they are distributed among the provinces of Qinghai, Gansu, Sichuan and Yunnan.

Plot
What happened, that 24th of December? This is what officer Chartier wants to find out. To understand, he will have to go back 48 hours earlier to Franck's Christmas eve. Franck is an insignificant drama-teacher by day, but also belongs to a nameless and leaderless militant organisation - the Animal Liberation Front. These characters are bound by a limitless empathy towards mistreated animals, and will have to show courage to complete a mission they have been preparing for months. Their goal is to free dogs, condemned to be sold to laboratories for the purpose of live experiments. Their philosophy: when something has gone beyond the boundaries of reason, you have to forget about what's legal, and care about what seems right. During the questioning, Franck understands that one of his fellow campaigners betrayed him.

Justin: This is Inspector Winship and Dr. Tart. They were in the yard.::Inspector Winship: That's FROM the Yard.
Mr. Uwatsum: How about a nice bowl of fish eyes?::Inspector Winship: Will you pardon me, please?::Mr. Uwatsum: Ah... Do you like hummingbird cookies?::Dr. Tart: ...No, thank you.
Inspector Winship: For a short person, you have long sentences.
Dr. Tart: You want another glass of pus?::Inspector Winship: No I don't want another glass of pus!
Inspector Winship: You know, I have an idea. Whoever wrote that letter must have read about us in the newspaper.::Dr. Tart: What is it?::Inspector Winship: What's what?::Dr. Tart: The idea you have?::Inspector Winship: I just told you!::Dr. Tart: What was it?::Inspector Winship: Whoever wrote that letter must have read about us in the newspaper.::Dr. Tart: Right!

Dr. Tart: [reading the note from the killer] I said when I died, that I'd come back. If you believe in ghosts, you're on the right track. I'm out of the grave, and roaming the moores. If you want to be safe, you better lock all the windows and screens.

Ich bin ein Söldner Im Winterkrieg
Ich töte Im Dunkeln wie im Sonnenlicht
Im Labyrinth kämpfe ich gegen den Feind
Glaubst du an Gott So glaubst du auch an mich
Dramaturgie des Labyrinths
Dramaturgie der Ewigkeit
Fragen nach dem Feind Sie töten Dich
Töten mich Stellst du den Feind in Frage
Im Labyrinth interessiert das nicht
Freund ist gleich Feind Im Winterkrieg
Dramaturgie des Labyrinths
Dramaturgie der Ewigkeit
was heute gilt galt damals
all das Gedachte schon Gedacht
jedes Gleichnis längst verbraucht
Dramaturgie des Labyrinths
he smiles like a child
his gentleness flows and flows for miles
and if you look in his eyes
you'll see a thousand lost goodbyes
the honesty of love
gathered up inside his mind
is it desire that i want
that has me crossing over lines
if i could change my life
would i dare to be alone
if i could change my life
how would it be to love and feel everything's the same
so soft in his ways
it calls me to his holy place
seducing me to stay
surrender 'til I must obey
but will it be enough
and will i ever take his name
is it desire that i want
i can't go back the way i came
if i could change my life
would i dare to be alone
if i could change my life
how would it be to love and feel everything's the same
if i could change my life
would i dare to be alone
if i could change my life
