- Quotes
Ugyen Dorji: Will the walk up be hard?
Michen: It will be easy. It will be a stroll along the river for the first six days. Then there is a little climb. As we reach up there, the walk is so nice. You will wish it never ends.

Featured review
Such a simple movie plot of a young teacher who questions if he wants to stay a teacher or emigrate to Australia.
He is sent for his final service year to the highlands of Bhutan to teach in a village who have no electricity or even a blackboard in the school, yet the spirit of the villagers is so honourable and so thankful for what they have it is a pleasure to see how the community thrives and looks after each other.
The kids in the movie are real highlanders and had never seen a camera before this movie was made.
It is a fantastic insight into the human spirit.
A total joy to watch, this is one for an Oscar award.
See for yourself.
