The Cup (1999) Trailer

Phörpa



Buddhism is their philosophy. Soccer is their religion.

Watch The Trailer!



While the soccer World Cup is being played in France, two young Tibetan refugees arrive
 at a monastery/boarding school in exile in India. Its atmosphere of serene contemplation
 is somewhat disrupted by soccer fever, the chief instigator being a young student, 
the soccer enthusiast 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.
