Most people will not know where this film takes place, but it is a charming introduction to life in the small Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan. A young man wants to leave for the west, but he learns about the real meaning of life from the stories told to him by a Buddhist monk along his journey. The film uses folk tales to explore the traditional values that young people question. While Bhutan may be far away, it too faces the pressures poised by modern life as it attempts to remain constant in its belief that happiness is more important than wealth.
