The film presents a brief history of political struggle in rural Nepal. Exploring the involvement of Kham Magars in the People's War, we follow a former Maoist commander to his village that used to be one of the centers of the rebellion. The film is an intimate portrait of everyday life during and after the revolution that reveals the background of Nepal's most formative political event.
