Jamuna and her sister live in Kathmandu. They embark on an ascent into the mountains to take part in the harvest of yarsagumba, a rare creature, half-fungus, half-insect, whose value now exceeds that of gold. This perilous yet vital harvest represents Jamuna's hope of funding her studies abroad, where she dreams of a better future. Returning to her native region is also an opportunity for reunion, healing, and a farewell that will finally set her free.
