The Monk And The Gun Trailer Is Out

Mumbai, 4th September 2023 (Newshelpline) - Cinetic drops the quirky and trailer for the film titled The Monk and the Gun, helmed by Pawo Choyning Dorji. A drama set in the stunning mountains of Bhutan.

The Monk and the Gun premiered at the Telluride Film Festival and headed to TIFF.

Set in 2006, when the Kingdom of Bhutan began its transition to democracy, this playful ensemble drama is a poignant parable about the impossibility of embracing modernity without reckoning with the past.

The story follows an American who travels into Bhutan in search of a treasure and crosses path with a young monk wandering through the serene mountains.

The film stars Tandin Wangchuk, Deki Lhamo, Pema Zangmo Sherpa, Tandin Sonam, and Harry Einhorn.

Bhutan becomes the last country in the world to connect to the internet and television, and now the biggest change of all: democracy. To teach the people how to vote, the authorities organize a mock election, but the locals seem unconvinced. Traveling to rural Bhutan where religion is more popular than politics, the election supervisor discovers that a monk is planning a mysterious ceremony for the election day.
