This is a memorable film from Nepal that traces the adventures of a nun called Karma, as she travels across Nepal from her remote nunnery in Mustang, journeying through the modern landscape of the country.
The story basis is this: an old and very revered nun has just died, and the nunnery wants to perform worthy ceremonies for her. They find that she had lent Rp. 200,000 to a man with a bad reputation, who may be involved somehow in human trafficking.
Karma, together with another nun, set out in pursuit of the man, but he always seems to be one step ahead of them. Karma does not give up though, and follows him to Pokhara, Kathmandu and eventually to Bhairahawa (close to Lumbini), on the Indian border where many girls get trafficked.
The film is very well written, and beautifully shot, with fully professional acting, editing and direction. It also is a very memorable film that teaches us on many levels as her journey unfolds.
