Event details

Bhutanese film that tells the story of Ugyen, a young teacher in Bhutan who evades his duties while planning to go to Australia to become a singer. As a reprimand, his superiors send him to the most remote school in the world, a Himalayan glacial village called Lunana. There, he finds himself without electricity or heating, in a school without windows or slates, so he faces the overwhelming task of teaching the children of the town without any types of resources.

The film forms part of the Mostra de Cinema Espiritual de Catalunya, organised by SAFOR UAB (Service of religious assistance and training).
