SYNOPSIS : Kingdom of Bhutan, 2006. Modernization has finally arrived. Bhutan becomes the last country in the world to be connected to the Internet and television, and the biggest change of all: democracy. To teach the people to vote, the authorities organize sham elections, but the locals seem unconvinced. Traveling to rural Bhutan, where religion is more popular than politics, the election supervisor discovers that a monk is planning a mysterious ceremony for election day.
