Kingdom of Bhutan, 2006. Modernization has final­ly arri­ved. Bhutan beco­mes the last coun­try in the world to con­nect to the inter­net and tele­vi­si­on, and now the big­gest chan­ge of all: demo­cra­cy. To teach the peo­p­le how to vote, the aut­ho­ri­ties orga­ni­ze a mock elec­tion, but the locals seem uncon­vin­ced. Traveling 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.
