Thirteen-year-old Ashmina lives with her parents on the outskirts of the Nepalese town of Pokhara. The town is overrun by tourists looking for paragliding adventures, leaving a strong mark on the local community. Forced to miss school to help sustain her family, Ashmina works as a parachute rigger to get a few pennies from the tourists. The film won the Best Film Award at Krakow Film Festival.
