Written by Cinobo

What happens in a country holding elections for the first time in its history? Elderly llamas, gun-toting monks and Himalayan villages become entangled in unpredictable mischief during Bhutan's transition from monarchy to democracy in 2006, in this madcap political satire.

Synopsis

An American travels into Bhutan in search of a valuable antique rifle and crosses paths with a young monk who wanders through the serene mountains, instructed by his teacher to make things right again.
