Nia is a young woman visiting her family summer retreat in the Himalayas, wishing away the worst trauma of her young life —an illicit abortion. Coming from the city, she is alone and depressed. The caretaker of the house departs on an errand, leaving his mother-in-law Bhemi in charge along with his son Sunny, 8. Interaction is unavoidable. Bhemi’s days are filled with labour, but her sense of humour doesn’t disguise the years of wisdom she offers; while Sunny’s endless mischief forces Nia back into a childhood that she had long forgotten. As a stark, stunning winter sets in, these 3 souls find themselves bound together beyond age and class divides.
