This is a touching and sombre journey of Lasya, who lives
with her father Karma and younger brother Chomo in a
remote village in the Himalayas. Pristine snow capped mountains
surround their tiny hamlet and barren harsh land
stretches for miles into nowhere. One day the army moves in,
settles a hundred yards across their doorstep. The last bit of
comfort the family draws from their familiar surroundings and
changes into a harsh ceaseless irreversible conflict. The film
depicts the life of this family whose dream like existence is
interrupted by inevitable odds, one after the other.
