When Ugyen is assigned to a school in the Bhutan mountains, he is indifferent. There’s no phone reception, little electricity and spartan accommodation. There are, however, children eager to learn, Lunana locals and several yaks.

Pawo Choyning Dorji’s stunning directorial debut Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom is Bhutan’s first Oscars entry. A life-affirming, humorous drama considering how a new environment affects personal transformation.
