"Funny, brave, illuminating, adventurous." Chronicle Herald

"Thoughtful, surprisingly fast-moving... a memorably quirky look..." Variety

From the World Cup in Germany to the remote Buddhist kingdom of Bhutan, three students are on a quest they hope will lead to wisdom. The catch is ... the teacher. Soccer obsessed, charismatic filmmaker, and citizen of the world, Khyentse Norbu may be one of the world s most eminent Tibetan Buddhist teachers, but it's a job description he slyly seems to reject at every turn.

Featuring appearances by Bernardo Bertolucci and Steven Seagal

Filmed in the UK, Bhutan, Canada, the US, and Germany.

Music by Sting, Tara Slone & Joy Drop, Steve Tibbets, U.Man.Tek, Kunga 19, and others
