Travellers And MagiciansFebruary 27, 2020

Dondup, a young government officer, is bored with his life in a rural Bhutanese village and decides to start afresh in America. Delayed by the timeless pace of his village, he is forced to hitchhike through the wild countryside of Bhutan to reach his goal, sharing the road with a monk, an apple seller, a papermaker and his beautiful daughter, Sonam. This spectacular road movie is the first feature shot entirely in Bhutan. Its contemplative pace and gentle humour transport you to a world of simple beauty, largely untouched by Western culture.

Travellers And Magicians was broadcast on SBS ONE at Thursday 3 February 2022, 13:00. This episode was initially placed on Thursday 27 February 2020.
