Tsarang, a small village in the Himalayan highlands. Like every morning the villagers entrust their cattle to the village's shepherd. Tsering, an old trader, attends a prayer of good luck performed by Lekshey and her fellow Buddhist nuns. Then he sets off for the next village to buy rice for the community. Tashi, owner of the only tractor in the village, gets ready to transport mud.
In a region that seems to extend into immenseness, where nothing but the wind interrupts the silence, man and nature meet at the rhythm of an archaic life. Starting from simple actions of daily routine, the three main characters talk about dreams, traditions and difficulties of a people that is about to change. A road in construction will soon connect a remote mountain region to the more modern Nepal.
With their stories, the main characters create a fascinating picture of an unknown corner of the world in which individual voices portray the village itself, the silent protagonist.
