In a remote Himalayan village, a young orphan boy’s imagination is fueled by his eccentric grandmother’s fantastical tales. Under the mother’s disapproving watch, the boy seeks to discover the truth behind the myth.

In this multi-generational tale about loss and memory, Siddharth Chauhan (PASHI, IFFLA 2018) soulfully explores the distinct mental spaces his characters inhabit, as each tries to cope with the loneliness, hardship and beauty of their remote existence. Evocatively photographed amidst an expansive landscape, the film artfully captures what legends are made of.
