Phörpa • Letní kino MeetFactory

✨ „Buddhism is their philosophy. Soccer is their religion.“ ✨

Join us for a captivating screening of the Bhutanese film Phörpa, where the worlds of soccer and Buddhism collide! 🌍⚽

This 90s classic directed by Khyentse Norbu showcases the journey of two young Tibetan refugees who arrive at a monastery and boarding school in India. Rather than peaceful meditation, they find themselves caught up in an unexpected wave of soccer enthusiasm that has reached the serene foothills of the Himalayas.

Meet Orgyen, the spirited student leading this soccer revolution, as he bravely endeavors to secure a television to watch the championship final. His quest transforms into an adventure of friendship, creativity, and solidarity for all involved, while the wise lama contemplates the challenges of propagating Buddha's teachings in a fast-paced world.
