Plot:	When a group of young Buddhist monks receive permission to watch the upcoming World Cup Final between France and Brazil, they have to figure out how to pay for the satellite dish they'll need to pull in the broadcast.
Overview:	While the World Cup is being played, two young Tibetan refugees arrive at a monastery in exile in India. Its atmosphere of serene contemplation is somewhat disrupted by soccer fever, the chief instigator being a young student named Orgyen. Prevented by various circumstances from seeing the Cup finals on television in a nearby village, Orgyen sets out to organize the rental of a TV set for the monastery. The enterprise becomes a test of solidarity, resourcefulness, and friendship for the students, while the Lama--head of the monastery, contemplates the challenges of teaching the word of Buddha in a rapidly changing world.
