From Kathmandu, Jamuna accompanies her younger sister on what could be their last trip to the small village in the East Rukum mountains of western Nepal. Up there, two other sisters live with their parents. On the sheer ridges of the Himalayan peaks, at over 5,000 meters, in autumn they harvest yarsagumba, a parasitic fungus that grows on insects, highly sought after as an aphrodisiac and energizer. Selling it would allow the family to support themselves and Jamuna to pay for her studies in Japan. The return to the village is an opportunity for the four sisters to reunite, aware of the different life paths they have taken: remaining in the village as wives and mothers, or studying far away. It may be the last chance for all four of them to be together with their elderly parents. Alexander Murphy, intending to make a film about the yarsagumba harvest, was inspired for his narrative by the real story of Jamana, whom he met during his research up there, filming her true, final journey to say goodbye to her parents and sisters, in images and dialogues of profound tenderness.
