LUNANA: A YAK IN THE CLASSROOM (PG) Bhutan 2019, 109 mins, Dzongkha with English subtitles. Director/Cyfarwyddwr: Pawo Choyning Dorji. Cast: Sherab Dorji, Ugyen Norbu Lhendup, Pem Zam. 

In this enchanting Oscar-nominated drama, a daydreaming but discontented young teacher is posted to Lunana, a remote village high in the Himalayan mountains. There, he is disheartened to find a simple yak herding community lacking basic amenities such as electricity or even a blackboard in its school classroom. But the enthusiasm of his young students and the unassuming warmth of the village folk buoy his spirits and he must decide whether to return to the city before the gruelling winter sets in or remain in this strange and captivating land.

‘A breath of fresh air’ – Ang Lee.
