Sing Me a Song

A nuanced portrait of a young man’s introduction to the world, the film follows a teenager who lives and studies in a picturesque monastery deep in the Himalayas. In this remote area, where technologies like Internet or TV were only recently allowed, daily pedantic rituals – such as candle lighting or the recitation of prayers – compete with the powerful lure of smartphones. Privately, the boy is passionate about love songs and forms a relationship with a young singer on WeChat... Unexpected and profound, this documentary provides an eye-opening lens on the effects of technology and challenges us to reassess our own perceptions of human relatedness and self-worth in an age of unparalleled connectivity.
