A Shepherdstown Film Society presentation

Political satire set in an exotic place

With the isolated yet idyllic nation of Bhutan on the cusp of modernizing change, an aging lama feels uncertain about the future of his country. He then enlists Tashi, his young disciple, to retrieve two guns from an arms dealer. The innocent Tashi then embarks on a journey inspired by James Bond, where he encounters a cunning American gun collector named Ron.
