A motley crew of travelers join forces in search of a better life or merely some fun at a religious festival many kilometers down the road. In the process, they learn to care for and about one another. The group includes a monk, a beautiful young woman, and an army deserter. Not much happensno car crashes or special effects; but a shaggy-dog story told within the film’s framework sheds a bright light on the actions of the traveling companions. The scenery in Bhutan is so lusciously ripe it makes you wonder why anyone would want to leave it. There will be some genuinely satisfied smiles. I could happily watch it again. ~ Nick Salerno |
