A portrait of a young family's life in one of the poorest, most isolated areas of Nepal, where one in two children will die before the age of five. The daily struggle to survive for Lalkali and her family is contrasted with life in more developed regions of Nepal. A fascinating look at a culture whose traditions and religious beliefs add to the hardships of life.
