A remote Tamang village in Rasuwa District is getting a trail bridge that will make
life easier and will placate fear. A river straddling the village swept away a young
bride when it inexplicably swelled. The event haunts the villagers who call
themselves a 'corner' people. No settlement lies beyond these high hills, there
is no electricity, not a single shop, and a 3-room school that goes up to class 3.
The film depicts a condition of grinding poverty, though of no lesser complexity,
that will astonish and move us in the centre.
