Sypnosis:

The movie portrays the legendary tale of two people who puts love above everything, between the extraordinary lovebirds Gasa Lamai Singye (a monk official) and Changyul Bhum Galem (heartthrob of Singye).

It is a heart-breaking ancient romantic tale that has passed down to generations. The movie starts with Singye and Galem as a child, portraying their different lifestyles only to be intertwined by a fateful event in Punakha years later. Galem, who is now known for her beauty, stumbles her way to Singye, who is an official serving in Punakha Dzong. They fall madly in love and their extraordinary love and commitment for each other is soon tested by the events that unfold.

The movie makes an attempt to portray the real life events that occurred some centuries ago. Though the tragic love story is not revered throughout the world like the Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet or the Shah Jahan and Mumtaz of Mughal Indian times, this undying love still touches every Bhutanese heart when they hear it.
