A little girl named Chuskit lives in a remote village in the Himalayas and dreams of spreading her wings by enrolling in school. When a tragic accident leaves her paraplegic, Chuskit watches her dream slip right through her fingers. Confined within four walls, in the company of her opinionated grandfather, who is convinced that his granddaughter will not be able to get by at school, our youngster continues to nourish hope inside her heart. Her parents and brother are awkwardly striving to keep her spirits high, trying at the same time not to show disrespect towards the traditional way of thinking. A battle, whose stake is dignity and change, is about to break out.
