Directed by Khyentse Norbu. Inspired by true events, the story follows two young Tibetan boys, Palden and Nylma, at a Tibetan monastery-in-exile. Here they receive their ordination and orientation into monastic life. The boys are thrown into a whirlwind of unexpected events not usually associated with the austere atmosphere of a traditional Tibetan monastery - the World Cup Soccer Final is on and football fever is running hot throughout the hallowed hallways. Warm irreverent humor and Tibetan wisdom combine in The Cup. It reveals many insights into a culture that struggles with noble dignity to maintain its ancient traditions and identity (In Bhutanese with English subtitles). A Fine Line Features release.
