Directed by Khyentse Norbu • 2003 • Bhutan
Starring Tshewang Dendup, Sonam Lhamo, Dasho Adab Sangye
Mystical journeys of spiritual discovery unfold against the spectacular landscape of Bhutan in this enchanting philosophical odyssey. Young government official Dondup (Tshewang Dendup) dreams of escaping to America while stuck in a ravishingly beautiful but isolated village. But when he misses his bus to the city (and an awaiting visa), Dondup is forced to hitchhike with an elderly apple seller, a sage young monk, an old man, and his beautiful daughter (Sonam Lhamo). Along the way, the mischievous monk tells Dondup a story of another young man who sought a land far away: a tale of lust, jealousy, and murder that holds up a mirror to the restless Dondup and his blossoming attraction to the innocent young woman.
