Travelers and wizards

Travellers and Wizards is a film shot in Bhutan and spoken in the Dzongkha language. This film shows the natural landscapes of this country located between India and Tibet. It also shows the peaceful and simple life of its citizens.

The plot tells the story of Tshewang Dendup, a government bureaucrat who, dissatisfied with his work in a remote district, wishes to emigrate to the United States, from where he has heard that he earns more picking fruits in a day than working in his country for a month. A friend of his who lives in New York has promised to help him, but he must arrive very soon. Trying to reach Thimphu, the capital, he misses the only public transport of the week. Waiting for some other vehicle to pass, he listens to a monk's stories about magic and travel.
