About the film

The child’s voice of nine–year–old Punam Tamang transports us to the Nepal city of Bhaktapur.
There we are presented with a stark description of the hard life of this young girl and the dismal social conditions in which she lives.

The film captures the hard work the children are required to perform and also takes a peek into the poor five–grade school that represents Punam’s symbol of hope.
She believes that education ushers in progress and is the only opportunity for improving their situation – perhaps bringing about new job opportunities in better conditions.

We look at the situation through the eyes of this young Asian girl, who dreams of becoming a teacher and helping other children in situations like hers.
