Dorji is just another ordinary Class IX boy growing up in rural Bhutan. Like many other Bhutanese boys his age he likes playing  football with friends and watching action movies but is not very  fond of public speaking, reading book  s or thinking about where  the future might take him.    However the Class IX turns his life upside down and Dorji soon  finds himself wanting to make changes that will take him in  surprising new directions.
