[edit] Blurb
Based on a true story, The Cup takes a refreshing, humorous and sometimes poignant look at Tibetan refugee life through the experience of the young monks and their teachers. Most of the boys have escaped from Tibet, sent to India by their parents at great risk and expense in order to receive a precious dharma education in a place safe from the Chinese. But religion isn’t always the main thing on their minds... When Geko, their supervisor, catches and forbids the monks from sneaking into the village to watch soccer, the cheeky and enterprising young Orgyen must devise a new plan and find a way to bring the World Cup to the monastery. But there’s an obstacle - to get the TV and satellite dish, Orgyen needs money.
