SYNOPSIS

A Tibetan buddhist monk is grappling with existential anxiety. His insights challenge a universal human foible; the obsessive pursuit of happiness. THE SAD MONK takes a look underneath the surface of a distinct and idealised environment; the holistic upbringing and rhythm of life in the monasteries.
