Buddha's Smile

Улыбка Будды

Also known as Buddhas Lächeln, Le Sourire de Bouddha

Gombo, a young boy, lives in a tiny village on the banks of Lake Baikal in the Buryat Republic. He dawdles on his way home from school and doesn't get back to nightfall. No one is at home but sweets have been left next to a Buddha shrine on the wall. As he is about to steal one he hears a voice.
