剧情介绍
在喜马拉雅王国不丹的一个僻远山村，16岁的Gyembo和他15岁的妹妹Tashi正漫无目的地四处闲逛，而与此同时他们的父亲却在一丝不苟地擦拭着私人寺院的祭坛中摆放的古董。
这个家族世世代代守护着这座寺院，已有数千年的历史。他们父亲的一生都围绕着这座寺院，但Gyembo和Tashi志不在此，他们渴望着去这座神圣寺院之外的地方看看。 Brother and sister Gyembo and Tashi are normal teenagers. They love soccer and their phones. In their Himalayan village, their father oversees a Buddhist temple that has been in the family for generations. He hopes his son will one day take over his duties. He would prefer that Gyembo leave his modern English-language school in favor of a monk school. In this thoughtful and tender portrait of a Bhutanese family, the generation gap is as large as their love for one another. Celibacy doesn't offer an enticing future to an adolescent boy, which Gyembo's father understands. Nonetheless, he still tries to convince his son that being a monk offers many advantages. Meanwhile, Tashi feels more like a boy than a girl, and dreams of a life as a pro soccer player. She wants to attend a soccer camp that would be the first step in being selected for the national team. Unfortunately, though happiness is high on the political agenda in Bhutan, not all wishes come true.

不知道後來他是否成為僧侶。
少年对足球的痴迷，妹妹试图代替哥哥完成梦想，父亲对信仰和文化不可撼动地坚持，这样一群挣扎在传统与现代间的人，活得依然通透而纯粹
理想与现实，传统与现代的冲突。这个少年有点烦
特别棒的独立纪录片。在美丽而宁静的喜马拉雅山麓，一个不丹家庭坚守家族世代传承的使命——守护一个村落小寺庙。按传统，家里的长子到了一定年龄会被送去僧侣学校学习，为成为一个真正的守庙人做准备。这既是家族的使命，也是传统社会里的一种特权：成为僧侣意味着社会地位，意味着受众人尊敬，也不用担心生活来源。然而家里的长子却志不在此。兄妹二人同热爱足球，希望成为职业运动员。有趣的是，妹妹像男孩子一样的性格和行为在这个佛教社会里得到很大宽容，父亲说“他的灵魂投身在了一个错误的身躯里”。影片通过聚焦一家人的生活对话、日常活动，从微观展现这个家庭每个成员面临的各种两难的处境和选择，生动地反映了转型中的不丹社会及来自本地与全球化、传统与现代等各种因素间的张力。
