A teacher, Ugyen, is transferred to a remote school in the mountains of Bhutan, with its philosophy of “gross national happiness”. In a mud-walled classroom with no electricity or even a blackboard, he finds himself with only a yak and children hungry to learn. Filmed on location, by solar-powered batteries, with local villagers taking many roles, this cheerful, heart-warming tale reminds us what really matters in life.
