Tashi Delek! (2015)

Tashi Delek! is a coming of age story of Tashi.
On a wider scale, it is a story about a small nation struggling to keep its identity since opening ofborders 22 years ago. It is a universal story about the conflict between spiritualism and materialism.
Tashi is a normal 17 year old teenager who loves to play football and basketball, have fun
with his friends and listen to pop music. He is also a monk studying at Pema Tsal Sakya
Buddhist Monastery, sent here by his parents at the age of 6.
Soon, Tashi faces the mostimportant decision in his life — whether to devote his life to serving as a monk, or toleave the monastery and return to everyday life, to try his luck at college and in business.
We follow Tashi on his long journey home through the Himalayas to visit his
father, witnessing the present day life and customs of one of the best preserved
traditional Tibetan communities in the world.
