SYNOPSIS

One night a girl takes a man injured in an accident to the hospital near where she and a boy she barely knows were, in Kathmandu. The girl, a frustrated poet, is the victim of a depressive state that plunges her into incommunicado and does not even allow her to respond to the kind gestures of the stranger. She returns to her village the next morning after years of constant conflict in the city. The boy, a tour guide from India, is on a trip to Kathmandu and will also leave in the morning. They leave separately from the hospital when the injured man’s relatives arrive but meet again unexpectedly.
