The Cup is a modest yet endearing film that gently explores the intersection of tradition and modernity. Set in a Tibetan monastery, it follows a group of young monks whose fascination with the World Cup brings humour and warmth to the narrative. Though the filmmaking is unpolished and straightforward, the story’s sincerity carries it through. It offers thoughtful cultural insights and a quiet reflection on change, faith, and youthful curiosity. The highest praise I can offer is that it left me with a genuine, heartfelt smile. A gentle, rewarding watch—if not a truly remarkable one.
