Was will der Lama mit dem Gewehr?
The whole world is suffocating in chaos and war. The whole world? No, in Bhutan, a small Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas, all is still well with the world. Until the king comes up with the idea of making his people happy by first giving them access to the internet and television and then introducing democracy.
In his debut film, Pawo Choyning Dorji uses humour to tell of the idiosyncrasies, but also the kindness of his countrymen, accompanied by impressive images of the Himalayas. At the same time, he does not spare any allusions and ironic comments on Bhutan's social situation.
‘This satire is truly delightful - and has bite!’ (filmstarts.de)
