OUT 28 JULY CINEMAS
If you’ve ever complained about your commute, follows Nepalese woman Mikma and her family on the arduous 300-mile journey from their home in the Himalayas to sell medicinal plants at market. Meanwhile, construction has begun in their roadless valley of a new highway to China that might – eventually – transform their way of life, for good or ill. Like progress on the journey itself, it’s slow-going at times, but this is a warm, enlightening study of the kind of lives we rarely see on screen.
