action
Dondup is a young villager from Bhutan with big plans: to go to America, the country whose rock music he hears all the time, the country of the shoes he wears and the country of the girl he is in love with. Therefore he has little interest in the traditions of his own country.
When Dondup travels to Thimphu to get the American visa , he meets people who are increasingly trying to prevent him from doing his thing: an apple trader, a drunkard, a widowed rice paper maker and a Buddhist monk become his companions. The monk tells him the story of Tashi, a restless farm boy who, like Dondup, dreamed of a special life. Dondup learns from history that you don't always have to go far to find happiness. It remains to be seen whether Dondup will get the visa and emigrate to America or not.
