2019. Bhutanese. A simple, endearing story about a young government teacher who is posted to a remote school in a village called Lunana - which involves an eight day trek. The young teacher is not enthused and plans to return but stays back after meeting his eager students. He gets involved in teaching them, gets stuff from Thimphu for them and even wants to complete his course but is forced to return before winter. The villagers love him - and he gets a yak for his daily needs - which stays in the classroom. After a rather painful separation form his students who ask him to come back after winter, the teacher is shown singing in a pub in Australia but one can see that his heart is not in it and that he would return to Lunana to teach and perhaps settle down there. Watch.
