I'm grateful for this film
What a wonderful movie!
Such pure-hearted, innocent people, as God wants us all to be!
Pem Zam, the little girl with an angelic smile, stayed in my soul. I will not forget her big beautiful eyes, the joy in her face, her tears when the teacher must leave before the harsh mountain winter.
Nor will I forget the girl who sang on the hill bringing thanks to the spirits of the mountain. What a voice, what an ancient song! (find it on the Internet as Lunana, the Yak Song).
The actors are actually mountain top villagers from the happiest country in the world: Bhutan in Asia. They play their real life roles so naturally and convincingly.
The film is a testimony about the past, about the relationship between man and nature, but somehow it is also an invitation for us, the city people, to return to nature, to our lost innocence.
The mountain landscapes from thousands of meters above sea level are extraordinary, I actually couldn't get enough of such beauty. Nature remains forever the source of human existence.
Films from other "exotic" countries are welcome. Through these films I discover other cultures, other ways of understanding the existence on Earth.
