After nearly a decade away, anti-regime partisan Chandra must travel to his remote mountain village following his father’s death. Little Pooja is eagerly awaiting the man she believes to be her father, but is confused when Chandra arrives with Badri, a young street orphan rumoured to be his son. Chandra must also confront his brother Suraj, who fought on the opposing side during the Nepali Civil War. The two brothers cannot set aside their political differences while carrying their father’s body down the steep mountain path to the river for cremation. Suraj storms off in a rage, leaving Chandra with no other men strong enough to help. Under pressure from the village elders, Chandra is forced to seek help from outside the village in order to adhere to the rigid caste and discriminatory gender traditions that he fought to eliminate during the war. He searches for a solution in neighbouring villages, among the police, guests at a local wedding and rebel guerrillas.
