Logline

Amid the rugged terrain of northern India, three joyful monastics offer a rare glimpse into contemporary Buddhism, revealing their worlds of exiled families, spirituality, laughter and resilience.

From the Office of the Dalai Lama:

The documentary is humorous, serious, and deeply moving, expressing a humane and compassionate spirit. It is engaging and informative even for non-Buddhists

Longer synopsis

Intimate and immersive, this documentary follows three Buddhist monastics as they navigate daily life with curiosity, humor, and resilience. Through private moments, shared laughter, and quiet reflection, audiences experience devotion not as distant ritual but as a vividly human practice. The film challenges assumptions about spiritual life, revealing devotion as immediate, lived, and profoundly alive—inviting viewers into a world both sacred and surprisingly familiar.
