Kingdom of Bhutan, 2006. Modernization has finally arrived at the last country in the world to connect to the internet, and now the biggest change of all: democracy.

Travelling to rural Bhutan where religion is more popular than politics, the election supervisor discovers that a monk is planning a mysterious ceremony for the election day.
