While the soccer World Cup is being played in
France, two young Tibetan refugees arrive at a
monastery/boarding school in exile in India. Its
atmosphere of serene contemplation is somewhat
disrupted by soccer fever, the chief instigator
being a young student, the soccer enthusiast Orgyen.
Prevented by various circumstances from seeing the
Cup finals on television in a nearby village, Orgyen
sets out to organize the rental of a TV set for the
monastery. The enterprise becomes a test of
solidarity, challenges of teaching the word of
Buddha in a rapidly changing world.
