Description
Set in a rural village in Nepal, Nabarsiyeko Jhari (A Silent Monsoon) tells the story of Durga and her struggle to save her twelve-year-old daughter Laxmi from the family profession of prostitution. Durga?s mother decides to sell her granddaughter's virginity to save their home from being taken by a money lender. This announcement threatens Durga's plan with the local school teacher to spirit her daughter to the city to get an education. At great danger to herself, the teacher arranges for her traveling brother and his boss to help Laxmi escape to the city. As night falls, monsoon clouds begin to gather, Will Durga be able to fight society and her fate, and set her daughter free? With brilliant performances by Nepal's most respected actresses Nisha Sharma Pokharel as Durga and Subhadra Adhikari as her mother, the film questions "life" and "death" through three generations of women trapped between custom and circumstance, wrapped in the alluring beauty of Nepal.
