Buddhism is their philosophy. Soccer is their religion.

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.
