I like this film because it wasn’t a English film but a Hindi or tibetan film. I didn’t know it was a Tibetan film tho and a real country! This film was a football and was a drama movie. ( I like drama) It was about two young boys who were monks, one called Orgyen and the other called Nyima desperately trying to get enough money for a tv to watch the 1998 World Cup. But there wasn’t lots of electricity in the village. My favorite part when they were collecting money for the tv to watch the final which was France VS Brazil ( I think) so they went to collect the money from the fortune teller. They knocked the door and the fortune teller opened the door and he had soap in his hair which that was really funny to me! I rated this a four out of five
