In a remote Tibetan monastery at the foothills of the Himalayas, Orgyen, a mischievous novice monk is having trouble concentrating on his studies. In Europe, France and Brazil are about to meet in the 1998 World Cup soccer final. Can Orgyen persuade his older monks to rent a satellite television to watch two civilised nations fight over a ball? This beautiful and insightful gem has been a hit wherever it has played. Directed by an actual Tibetan lama and the first film to be made in Bhutan.
