Description: mystical journeys of spiritual discovery or set against the spectacular, evocative landscape the remote kingdom of Bhutan in TRAVELERS and MAGICIANS. Young government official Dondup dreams of escaping to America while stuck in a ravishingly beautiful but isolated village. But when he misses his bus to the city Dondup is forced to hitchhike with an elderly apple seller, the sage young monk, an old man, and his beautiful daughter. Along the way, the mischievous monk tells Dondup a story of another young man who saw a land far away: the tale of lust, jealousy and murder that holds up a mirror to the restless Dondup and his blossoming attraction to the innocent young woman. - from box
