Bhutan is a wondrous Buddhist land high in the Himalayas. It is a former kingdom and the innovator of the "gross domestic happiness" index, thumbing its nose at miserable capitalist nations, like us in the West.
It has kept to its simpler ways or did when there was a benevolent king calling the shots. But now elements of modernity are creeping, and there's no one to stop them. Here, a young man passes his exams and applies to be a teacher, a government job. He doesn't take his first assignment very seriously so is relocated to the most isolated classroom in the world, on the roof of the world. That improves his outlook, except for the yak in the classroom.
