Every winter Mikma and her family travel by foot from their village deep in the Himalayas of Nepal to sell local medicinal plants in urban markets.
This year, construction of a new highway to China has begun in their roadless valley, and things are never going to be the same. With the new road will come new challenges, new opportunities, and ultimately a new way of being to those who live along its path.
With beautiful, astute observations along the way, Baato picks up the nuances of the family’s journey through the stunning vistas of the Himalayas, and all the while change is hanging on the horizon.
