About The Cup
While the World Cup is being played in France, two young Tibetan refugees arrive at a monastery in India. The atmosphere of serene contemplation is soon disrupted by soccer fever, as the two students desperately seek a TV to watch the final.
Directed by Khyentse Norbu, The Cup leans on a strong ensemble — Orgyen Tobgyal, Neten Chokling, Jamyang Lodro — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1999.
