A young teacher in modern Bhutan, shirks his duties while planning to go to Australia to become a singer. As a reprimand, his superiors send him to its most remote school, a glacial Himalayan village called Lunana. After an arduous 8 day trek, he finds himself exiled from his Western comforts. There he finds no electricity and no textbooks. Though poor, the villagers extend a warm welcome to their new teacher, but he faces a daunting task. He wants to quit and go home, but he begins to fall in love with the children he teaches, and he transforms through the amazing spiritual strength of the villagers.
