- About Butan

While the soccer World Cup is being played in France, two young Tibetan
refugees arrive at a monastery/boarding school in exile in India. Its
atmosphere of serene contemplation is somewhat disrupted by soccer fever,
the chief instigator being a young student, the soccer enthusiast Orgyen.
Prevented by various circumstances from seeing the Cup finals on television
in a nearby village, Orgyen sets out to organize the rental of a TV set for the
monastery. The enterprise becomes a test of solidarity, resourcefulness and
friendship for the students, while the Lama, head of the monastery,
contemplates the challenges of teaching the word of Buddha in a rapidly
changing world.
