A young man who is the least motivated teacher serving in a Bhutanese city, is transferred to the most remote school in the world. There, given that his phone battery has died out and can't be recharged, since the village he is assigned to lacks electricity, he finally becomes engaged with his profession and the community where he lives. The movie was filmed on location, and uses many children of the remote mountain village where it was filmed as actors. I found the children's eagerness to learn and the villagers' support for the teacher very touching. The movie is both centering and calming, and beautiful. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Leonardo L A história acompanha Ugyen, um jovem professor em treinamento que vive em Thimphu, a capital do Butão. Ele é relutantemente enviado para lecionar em uma escola na remota vila de Lunana, uma das localidades mais isoladas do mundo, localizada nos Himalaias. Apesar de se sentir desmotivado, e da falta dos recursos da grande metrópole aos quais estava acostumado, com o passar do tempo o professor desenvolve um forte vínculo com as crianças e os aldeões, descobrindo um novo sentido para sua vocação e vida. O filme retrata temas como simplicidade, conexão humana, superação e a busca pelo verdadeiro propósito. "Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom" foi indicado ao Oscar de Melhor Filme Internacional em 2022, representando o Butão. O filme prima pela beleza de suas paisagens, pela sutileza das emoções e por destacar a importância da educação e da comunidade em um mundo cada vez mais globalizado. Um filme lindo, que merece sua atenção! E se você não se apaixonar pela pequena Pem Zam, você já morreu por dentro. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Kevin M Follows a disillusioned teacher from the city as he spends a semester teaching in the most remote school in the world high in the mountains of Bhutan. In the highlands, he rediscovers his passion not only for teaching, but for life, as he reconnects with his roots. I loved the scene near the end when the young teacher carelessly dusts off the discarded iPod he was so desperate to charge in the opening scenes of the film. The film takes you on a journey of reconnecting with what is most important in life. Gets my pick for best International Film.
