Lunana: A yak in the classroom
An aspiring singer living with his grandmother in the capital of Bhutan dreams of getting a visa to move to Australia. To punish him, his superiors send him to complete his service in a remote school in the village of Lunana. After eight days of grueling trekking just to reach the village, he realizes that he must say goodbye to his westernized comforts. In Lunana there is no electricity, no textbooks, not even a blackboard. Despite their poverty, the villagers prepare a warm welcome for their new teacher, who has the heavy task of teaching the village children in the absence of any infrastructure. And while he is preparing to resign and leave, the difficulties of the everyday life of his wonderful students begin to move him and the incredible spiritual power of the villagers begins to change him.
