The Novice Brothers

Two years ago, Yan Shin and his younger brother Aung Moe were sent to live in a monastery in Yangon by their mother who was too poor and too ill to take care of them anymore. The documentary camera proves to be the perfect audience for these two spirited boys, but the film also reveals how important they are for each other and shows how the monastery has become a safe haven in which they are slowly learning how to cope with loss.
