A young Nepali man, preparing to launch a filmmaking career in Europe, is suddenly summoned home in the Everest region. His father, a livestock farmer like most Sherpas before they became known for mountaineering, is ailing. In this intimate portrait, the filmmaker explores his relationship to home and his parents, and the world of tradition and ritual he thought he had left behind.

Ngima Gelu Sherpa is a writer, director, and producer who began his career as a photographer. He studied Masters in Film Direction at Kino Eyes: The European Movie Masters program in Lisbon, Edinburgh and Tallinn for which he received a full Erasmus plus scholarship. Sherpa’s films tend to show a mixture of fictional and documentary elements.
