- Summary:
- This film is about the relationship between three Nepalese women living under the same roof. A servant girl, Nani, a married woman, Sarita, and her mother-in-law, Ama. A challenging mixture of a sense of duty, entrapment and tradition. As the summer proceeds, tensions within the household reach boiling point.
