The two men embark on parallel, if separate, journeys. Their yearning is a common one–for a better and different life. Dondup, delayed by the timeless pace of his village, is forced to hitchhike through the beautiful wild countryside of Bhutan to reach his goal. He shares the road with a monk, an apple seller, a papermaker and his beautiful young daughter, Sonam. Throughout the journey, the perceptive yet mischievous monk relates the story of Tashi. It is a mystical fable of lust, jealousy and murder, that holds up a mirror to the restless Dondup, and his blossoming attraction to the innocent Sonam. The cataclysmic conclusion of the monk's tale leaves Dondup with a dilemma–is the grass truly greener on the other side?

Travellers and Magicians (2003) [ReUp]

Buddhist Bhutanese monk and filmmaker, Khyentse Norbu makes the complex appear simple. Magically. And while his philosophical film Travellers and Magicians appears to be an inherently simple tale about a young man from a remote village who dreams of going to America, there are emotional complexities bound tightly like a spiral waiting to be released. It's a cautionary tale about happiness; the moral reminding us that the grass is not always greener elsewhere.

Travellers and Magicians (2003) [ReUp]

Shot in Bhutan, as was Norbu's first film The Cup, Travellers and Magicians, in many ways, is a far more subtle film. Using the official national language of Dzongkha (a first), and using two parallel stories, Norbu explores the multi-faceted emotion of desire. I especially connected with the central story of Dondup's journey, but the story of forbidden love between Tashi the dreamer and the wife of his elderly host, eliciting tormented passion, lacks the desired impact by taking too long to reach its conclusion. The artful interruptions at crucial moments leave us emotionally adrift, allowing tension to build slowly as the parallel story strands collide. The film's great strength is the characters, and we warm to them all. We care most of all for charismatic Dondup, through whose eyes we venture on the journey that seeks to satisfy the stars (and stripes) in his eyes.

Visually, the film is extraordinary and the locations spectacular, with breathtaking snowy peaks towering above forests of fir trees and harsh terrain. We feel as though we can breathe in the crisp, cool air. One of the great achievements of the film is its sense of place, and a rare insight into the isolated region of a modern-day Shangri-La.

It's ironic that the reason Dondup misses his bus, propelling him on his journey, is because he is held up by locals wheeling a giant phallus - no doubt destined for hanging from the eaves of one of the village's houses. It seems incongruous in this society where modesty prevails, that there exists such an obsession about the phallus. Considered to be a sign of power that wards off evil spirits, the phallus represents both the human form as a symbol of wisdom and opposite impulse, when displayed beside a dagger.

It is with special interest that I enter the world of Travellers and Magicians. In a way I feel as though I have been on the sidelines observing, while reading Bunty Avieson's book 'A Baby in a Backpack in Bhutan' which canvasses her experiences as partner to the film's Australian producer, Mal Watson. We gain a sense of the unique culture, the good nature of the people of the tiny kingdom of Bhutan, and an insight into how non-actors were recruited for the film.

Calming and meditative, Travellers and Magicians is for the most part, a taste of tranquillity. Perhaps we are all travellers and magicians on a journey searching for our destination. Or is the destination the journey itself?
