FILM SUMMARY
"Travellers and Magicians" is the first feature-length film to be made completely within the Kingdom of Bhutan. It focuses on an optimistic, young man heading to America with dreams of becoming rich. Along his journey he is joined by an old farmer, a monk, a rice-paper maker, and his daughter. As they wait for rides, the monk begins relating a story about a magic student, Tashi, who doesn't believe in magic and would rather start making money in the corporate world. But his brother, Karma, who does believe, concocts a plan that soon has Tashi stranded in the middle of the forest with a bitter old man and his beautiful, much-younger wife, Deki. "Travellers and Magicians" magnificently intertwines the two stories, creating an enchanting, unforgettable film that is filled with heart, hope and humor. FILM LINKS |
