Logline
A sister fights all odds to take care of her younger brother, until things fall apart and she is left with no option but sell her dignity to save him.
Plot
Kshemi is living with her sick mother and younger brother Tikpe in upper Himalayas of Nepal. She is more like a son rather than a daughter of the family. She didn't marry, as she had to look after her three younger sisters, one brother and mother. After her father's death she couldn't marry and leave her family, as she was scared that they might starve to death if she leave them. She cares about her brother more than herself, so she buys him a pair of slipper instead of a hair clip for herself.
But the slipper breaks. She tries fixing it. Failing to fix it, she promises to buy him a new one. Tikpe exchanges the broken slipper with a hair band for his sister without realizing she longed for the same very hair band. Both sacrifice their needs for the other, until Kshemi's sisterhood is tested in the middle of the night. Her brother's bare leg gets seriously hurt while treating his sick mother through unorthodox witch crafting. He has to be treated soon or his leg might get amputated and he may die too. Kshemi is left with no option but sell her dignity to save him. Things start to get charged up as the stake rises when her mother's sickness intensifies. She has no option but elope with an arrogant and crooked rich drunkard Janak Lal, though she loved Mukunda, an honest villager. Janak Lal takes full advantage of her weakness, promising to treat her brother in the city if she elopes with him. He wins her physically yet loses her spiritually, while Mukunda fights for her best, and wins her despite losing. To Kshemi, it was always about her brother than herself, so she chooses to do the best for her brother's safety.
