'The Monk and the Gun' is a wonderfully heart warming feel-good film that blends humor with thoughtful reflections on the collision of Western and Eastern values, as well as the tension between tradition and modernization.

Bhutan is the last country in the world to connect to the internet and television, but the most significant change of all is the arrival of democracy. To teach the people how to vote, the authorities organize mock elections, but the local population remains sceptical. While travelling in the countryside, the election supervisor discovers that a monk is planning a mysterious ceremony for election day.

A clever and funny film with stunning images of a truly unique country.
