SYNOPSIS
As Bhutan has never experienced an election, government officials stage a mock election as a training exercise, although even registering folks to vote is a challenge in regions where people don’t know their birthdates.
An elderly lama, recognizing the great change sweeping his country, instructs a monk to obtain a pair of guns. The American visitor, who has come to purchase a coveted 19th-century rifle, assumes the transaction will be a slam dunk but fails to anticipate that, just as the Bhutanese are unfamiliar with democracy, they are also less persuadable when it comes to the laws of commerce.
The ensemble cast of the film includes Misty Terrace, Tandin Sonam, Harry Einhorn, Deki Lhamo, Pema Zangshe, Choying, Homebased Illustrator, Production companies include Dangphu Dingphu: A 3 Pigs Production, Films Boutique, Journey to the East Films, Tomson Films, Closer Media, Animandala, N8 Studios and Wooden Trailer Productions. France’s CNC Cinéma du Monde and Switzerland’s Visions Sud Est both supported the film. ’
