The new film by Pawo Choyning Dorji, acclaimed director of Lunana - The Village at the End of the World, an Oscar nominee. Winner of the Special Jury Prize at the Rome Film Festival, The Monk and the Gun takes the viewer on an emotional journey to the happiest country in the world: Bhutan. In 2006, the small Asian kingdom became the last country in the world to connect to the Internet and television, and now it is the turn of the biggest change of all: the transition from monarchy to democracy. To teach people how to vote, the authorities organise a mock election, but the locals do not seem convinced. Travelling to rural Bhutan, where religion is more popular than politics, the election supervisor discovers that a monk is organising a mysterious election day ceremony.
