The whole world is suffocating in chaos and war. The whole world? No, in Bhutan, a small Buddhist kingdom in the Himalayas, the world is still in order. Until the king comes up with the idea of wanting to make his people happy by first giving them access to the Internet and television and then introducing democracy.
“We’re already happy,” the people think, confused. They’re supposed to learn how an election campaign works, while a so-called “007” shoots around on TV. The old, highly revered lama has had enough. He orders a young monk to get a gun and announces an important ceremony. The tension in the village is rising, the anticipation is huge… But what does the lama want with the gun?
The CINEWORLD Mainfrankenpark is presenting the film “What does the llama want with the gun?” on Thursday, September 19th, in its film café. It starts at 3 p.m. with delicious specialties from the cake and tart manufacturer “Tortenglück” from Westheim. The cinema team will also serve aromatic coffee. The film starts at 4 p.m.
Director Pawo Choyning Dorji tells with great humor about the peculiarities, but also the loveability of his compatriots, accompanied by impressive images of the Himalayas. The comedy was also shown at renowned film festivals such as Toronto, Telluride and Busan.
Tickets can be booked online at www.cineworld-main.de Tickets can be purchased here, but there is also a ticket office open in the CINEWORLD itself. Current information is available on Facebook and Instagram (@cineworld.mainfrankenpark).
