Lunana: A Yak in the Classroom is Bhutan's first ever Academy Award nominated film. The picture has also been recognised at many film and mountaineer festivals around the world, where it has won more than a dozen audience awards. The film's success was attributed to Bhutan's beautiful landscapes, music and subtle sense of humour, as well as the atmosphere of the film itself, which combines an endearing serenity with an insightful look at parts of the world that are little known to us; all the actors in Lunana are highlanders, many of whom had never seen the outside world. They had never seen a movie, and had never seen cameras before. Pawo Choyning Dorji has made a film that is an affirmation of simple living in harmony with the laws of nature.

A young teacher in modern Bhutan, Ugyen, shirks his duties while planning to go to Australia to become a singer. As a reprimand, his superiors send him to the most remote school in the world, a glacial Himalayan village called Lunana, to complete his service. He finds himself exiled from his Westernized comforts after an arduous 8 day trek just to get there. There he finds no electricity, no textbooks, not even a blackboard. Though poor, the villagers extend a warm welcome to their new teacher, but he faces the daunting task of teaching the village children without any supplies. He wants to quit and go home, but he begins to learn of the hardship in the lives of the children he teaches, and begins to be transformed through the spiritual strength of the villagers.
