Travellers & Magicians

The incredibly beautiful landscape of Bhutan stars is this spiritual story about two men, Dondup and an unnamed monk, journeying towards the hope of a better life. Along the way, the monk weaves a story whose drama stands in stark contrast to the dull life that Dondup has lived. While the plot may be somewhat standard, the visual charm of the film is strong, and director Khyentze Nobu (The Cup) isn’t afraid to be funny, which puts him way ahead of most people who value "spirituality" and "beauty."
