Fire in the Mountains plot
Chandra and her husband Dharam run an inn high above the only road in a small Himalayan village. The terrain poses a problem for the family, who must transport their son Prakash across the mountain in his wheelchair to the doctor and to school. Although Chandra thinks Prakash needs more medical care, Dharam is not so positive about it. He would rather spend the money on a shamanic ritual that he believes will deliver them from the curse of a deity, the cause of Prakash's affliction. Tensions mount as their worldviews clash and their family ties slowly crumble.
