My Buddha Is Punk plot

Kyaw Kyaw is a 25-year-old Burmese punk who dreams of making the punk scene popular in Myanmar. Although the former military dictatorship has implemented some democratic reforms, he remains in doubt, because according to him the country has not (yet) changed. Together with the members of his punk band, he tries to raise awareness about the continuing violations of human rights taking place among his people. Through his music and street demonstrations, he criticizes the ongoing civil war and the persecution of ethnic minorities. He travels the country to promote his philosophy, which is a symbiosis of Buddhism and punk and which rejects religious and political principles, among the young generation.
