The Monk

Directed by The Maw Naing

With Kyaw Nyi Thu, Han Newe Nyein, Thein Swe Myint and Moe San

Zawana enters a Burmese monastery filled with the misgivings and uncertainty that come in part with the inexperience of youth. When the superior, U Dahma, falls ill, the youngster takes up an unexpected challenge. This sensitive film, enhanced by its unique setting, was made in a Burmese-Czech coproduction.
