Laia, a young Catalan teacher, 'moves' to Kathmandu in the early 90's, to volunteer in a local school.
She 'will' soon discover extreme poverty and a devastatingly bleak educational system that leaves out the most needy.
She
initially 'protests' and later 'decides' to get married out of convenience,
so as to legalize 'her' situation and take on an ambitious educational
project in the slums of Kathmandu.
She immediately 'realizes' that
she 'can't' do it all by herself. She also 'discovers' a beautiful gift she
had never expected: to fall in love with the stranger she 'marries'.
She
'finds' herself torn between 'her' love life and 'her' commitment to the
children she 'helps'. Laia and Sharmila, another young teacher who becomes
'her' dearest friend, work side by side to launch a new project that will
distance Laia from 'her' partner beyond repair. It will, however, always
unite 'her' to Sharmila and small Kushila, in a personal journey into the
depths of the Nepalese society and also to 'her' most inner self.
