LYRICS:
Suffocated by existence,
Concealed from my own being,
I ask for the drink of the light,
Strength for peace.
I seek refuge in your undying arms,
There I seek, Sleep and dream,
And upon the string of life,
I commence a delicate tune.
Ohhh my GURU.......
SYNOPSIS:
Year 2001, a temporary ceasefire brings much-needed break to a small war-torn village in Northern Nepal, bringing much joy among the residents. PRAKASH and KIRAN, two young close friends, are also starting to feel the change in the air. Though they are divided by caste and social creed, they remain inseparable, and start raising a hen gifted by Prakash’s sister, with hopes to save money by selling her eggs. However, the hen goes missing. To find it, they embark on a journey, innocently unaware of the tyranny brought by the fragile ceasefire.
