All is not always well for these young men, in their small world. A theft in town changes everything... Suspected and alienated, the four ... all » friends still help each other out, when in trouble. They organize a party to raise funds for Pasang's sister who just arrived from Tibet and needs immediate medication. However, after the party and some drunken pranks, and the excessive bullying by a manipulative police officer, Tenzin gets pushed to a violent mission for Tibet's freedom.

A chilling twist to the story shows that personal objectives not only govern us in life, but also in death!

We’re No Monks (WANM) shows a world of Tibetans sharply different from that usually perceived by the west. Caught between the expectations of a traditional society and the realities of the present world situation, four friends attempt to reconcile their dreams and aspirations with the social and political influences that push them to separate paths. One chooses the dreaded path of terrorism, which is against the non-violent teachings of the Dalai Lama. It is therefore a look into the possibility of young Tibetans taking the path of violence as a means of fighting for their cause.

’We’re No Monks’ is already drawing attention in the international film festival circuits and has been submitted to Sundance, Slamdance, Telluride, Cannes and SFO Asian Film Festivals.
