With a relaxed yet insightful approach, "The Monk And The Gun" presents a dynamic fusion of modernity and tradition, seamlessly blending urban and rural settings. Inspired by Robert Altman's style, writer-director Pawo Choyning Dorji sets the film in 2006, unfolding the story of various characters in a quaint Bhutanese village as they navigate the impending changesโsuch as the introduction of television, internet, cellphones, and the nation's first democratic electionโthat are sweeping across the country.

Filled with subtle yet impactful moments, the film explores themes of political upheaval and cultural transformation with wit and depth. Dorji's narrative is punctuated with sly and ironic dialogue, highlighting the complexities of Bhutan's encounter with modernity and democracy.
