We are Gurung

In a Gurung village in the foothills of the Himalayas in Nepal there is a custom that marriage is decided by parents. One day, a marriage proposal comes to an 18-year-old girl. She asks her mother to go to Kathmandu for the first time with her sister. The mother is reluctant, but finally gives them permission. Months pass after the journey, and it comes the day before the wedding. The village celebrates a feast, but the girl decides to escape before morning comes to live her own life.
