Story
A quiet film about finding oneself again and unexpected elective relations, caught in lucid monochrome. After a painful experience, Nia withdraws to her family’s holiday home in the loneliness of the snow-capped Himalayas to try and process what has happened. Despite differences in age and origin, she finds solace in the company of her neighbour Bhemi and her grandson, and gradually finds her strength again. A slow process of change begins.
