You are the politician of this village.
The fight between the people of Nawamidanda and Sartap has turned...
...into a major hassle.
It's up to you, Surya Hang, to resolve it.
Uncle, we’ll have to solve it.
And Tumba (father's elder brother)...
There are rumors about your candidacy.
Will you surely get the ticket?
Hmm,...
...let's say most probably.
Please drop me off at Tumden Chowk.
Okay, okay.
This car is going to Tumden Chowk.
Yes.
He has asked several times for the same thing.
Where in Tumden Chowk?
Do you know Dharani Dhar Kafle?
Yes, there.
Oh! You’re going to the person we know.
Yes, I work as a mason, and Dharani...
...brother asked for help, hence I am going.
Okay, Dharani is alone and overloaded with work.
Okay.
Good, he is getting help.
Yes.
One day in Singhang, a person broke his leg.
I searched for the herbal plant and tied it.
He got well in 7 days and became a Gurkha soldier.
And now he runs around distributing watches.
Huh...
Only when it’s kept warm like this, the heat reaches the bones.
Wait a moment.
It will hurt a bit.
It will hurt.
A lot.
If you cannot even bear this much...
...pain, then why do you keep fighting?
If he keeps the drama up, you may break his leg.
And on top of all that, you give false promises.
Pathetic.
Well, I must fight for the right thing.
And you think it’s the right thing to do?
No need to do it.
Let me do it myself.
Wait.
Here.
Ouch, leave it.
Wait, wait.
Wow, Dharani,...
...you’ve got an energetic person.
And do you think that I have been bluffing?
As if I’ll trust you.
Hey, Khadga bro, let's have some food.
I’ll finish this first.
You are going to make all the Singhang proud.
Hey Ekle brother, can you come here for a moment?
Come sit with us.
No, I am in a hurry.
Why are you always in a hurry?
The foundation is nearly done.
Hey, Ekle.
Don’t be in such a hurry.
Life’s a long journey.
That’s true brother.
Ekle brother, I have completed your house, Devi Maila’s house,
and I have started with the foundation of Nanda brother.
I have already gotten token down payment, isn't it brother?
Yes.
Hey brother, we could’ve talked about this at home.
You ask me for money every time we bump into each other.
Don’t we have any self-respect?
I told you I’d pay—do you think I’d run off?
Yes, you have been running away.
See, you were just running.
See, I ran away.
Bloody Brahmin,
I am not paying you—what are you going to do about it?
I’m not begging you.
I am asking in return for my work.
With that tone, you better pay me right now.
I know exactly where and how to get my money, too.
Go wherever you want, bloody Brahmin.
This is the reason why you aren’t married yet.
You are the only Brahmin household in this place, so stay in limits.
What...
What will you do?
-You sit, you sit. -What harm have I caused you?
You come here Ekle.
He is bullying.
You sit, you come here.
-As if I have done anything to him. -There is a limit to everything.
How much do you own him?
Brother, it’s 35000, and I took it for work, which I will return it.
-Then give him back soon. -Here.
Give, let's give it to him.
It is exactly 35000.
The guy earns his living honestly.
This could’ve been finished, but it’s still going on.
Here, Dharani brother.
Here, it's exactly NRS 35000.
Take it.
Count it.
No need.
Hey, Dharani brother, don’t get upset.
I am a bit short-tempered.
Just because you are short-tempered does not...
...mean you can say whatever you want to people.
But it's fact that you have not been married.
You are starting again,
What’s it to you if I’m married or not?
You go, go.
Man, he’s running his mouth after getting the money.
You weren’t like this before, Dharani.
Given his money...
Since when did you start losing your cool?
Why don’t you ask help of Dambare, elder mother?
You’re breaking your back while your lazy son stays home.
Yeah right, like he's going to help, he doesn’t lift a finger.
Go ahead and knock some sense into him—maybe then he’ll help.
Why do you need a rooster?
Your father arrived, that's why?
No, last time Misek got into a row with people of Sartap, so now...
...they’re planning to patch things up with a ritual.
Okay, ask Dambare to catch the rooster.
(Song playing in the background from a Nepali movie)
(Song playing in the background from a Nepali Movie)
Dancing all happy—who are you planning to trap?
What is your problem?
Like you weren’t dancing around with people of Sartap...
...all cheerPhool during Paddy Dance.
When are you eloping?
Trying to act all smart huh?
You bloody...
Hey, get off me.
-Bullshit, talks of eloping. -My Leg!.
You better elope.
-Ouch! -You guys sure know how to argue.
-It’s hurting. -You guys only fight.
Catch a rooster.
No.
Go yourself.
Then give me back my money, fast.
If you do not give me the money, then I’ll take your walkman.
-Here, here, come. -Oh!
Your chicken is like you.
Here, here.
Oh! No.
I am falling.
Do not laugh.
-Pull me. -How do I pull you?
This won’t be it, I‘ll come down.
(Chants for worship)
Well,
The row that had ended during the...
...conflict period has somehow started up again.
(Chants of worship)
Uncle.
It’s time for a patch-up ritual, kindly call Surya Hang brother.
It has become my responsibility to lead...
...patching up rituals for the people of Sartap.
I do not see Iksa.
(Song playing in the background from a Nepali Movie)
Move your leg.
I’ll throw you out.
Hey, do not make any noise, just be quiet and watch.
(Song playing in the background from a Nepali Movie)
Do not change it.
Give it to me.
Go.
I’ll switch it off.
(Song playing in the background from a Nepali Movie)
Dear all, in this regard, we warmly invite you to participate in...
...the cultural program and grand dance competition on July 14, 2007.
-Listen to the rules, boys. -Okay.
Nepali songs will be prioritized.
Nepali cultural dress will be recognised.
-Hindi songs will not be accepted. -It will not.
Dance to a movie song...
-...can be done. -You can dance to a movie song.
-Duet dance. -Oh! The duet dance as well.
Duet dance will be priortized.
-What… What is this “duet”? -Couple.
Oh! Two people.
-This time, two people must dance. -Okay, great.
Which girl in our village can dance?
In our village…
Four.
Okay.
Do not worry about that.
Aunt, why is our uncle always on the phone?
What can be done, daughter-in-law, when my politician
husband worry more about the country than his own home?
In this regard...
Iksa dear?
Yes.
Shall I ask for a photo of our Gorkha Army?
Everything will be okay.
Do ask for it.
I'll put it in the middle.
Ye, yes.
Here.
Is this okay?
How am I suppose to manage it?
Give me your single photo.
All my photos are with Dambar.
I will not put Dambar's photo with our family photo.
He is also like our family.
Here, keep it at the middle, like this.
Here is your money.
Why are you throwing it?
Give me that money.
Give me your hand.
Give it to me.
Here.
Give me another one.
Damaru!
-Yes. -People who dance have different hand.
As if I will dance with you all.
It is a bit different.
Dance out of respect for your brother.
Oh!
Does he even have self respect?
If not for me then
Dance out of respect for
the community and village.
Dance for our society, there is a chance to be first this year.
Okay?
Sister, please dance.
-I'll worship you. -What are you doing?
Even he will worship you, hey, worship.
Here, here, here.
-I'll think and let you know. -What!
I'll wrestle you, mom, I'll wrestle her.
I'll wrestle you.
God! they fight a lot.
-What? -What?
What happened to you today?
You never come to the factory.
Now you are talking about father.
Just like that.
Do you have Rs.1500?
Why do you need such a big amount?
What do you want to do with it?
I’m only asking because I need it for work.
If you have it, give it— otherwise, I don’t want it.
Dear, you really shouldn’t let yourself get upset so quickly.
I’m thinking of sending my brother to Kathmandu for studies.
I will not study.
Then what will you do?
I want to become an actor.
Yeah right, like you’re going to become one.
Do you think becoming an actor is easy?
And who exactly is going to turn you into a hero?
Antare uncle’s son, told me, ‘Come with me, I’ll get you work in a film.’
I will go.
I can handle my struggles.
Up next in today’s grand cultural program, we are honored to welcome another...
...performance by the esteemed Jana Jyoti Youth Group from Nawamidanda Satyarupa.
Taking the stage in the avatars of beloved film icons Dilip Rayamajhi and Niruta...
...Singh are Mr. Dambar Kafle and Ms. Iksha Angdembe
And now, the curtain rises!
Oh! Wow...
Dambare has performed exactly like Dilip Rayamajhi.
-Yes, exactly. -Yes.
Woo, awesome.
A sudden splash in the water my eyes fell upon the girl
You are beautiful like a flower and cool like a moon.
A sudden splash in the water my eyes fell upon the girl
You are beautiful like a flower and cool like a moon.
You are brighter than gold.
More than gold
What more do you want than this?
That's what you need in life.
If there was fish in the lake, it would have been caught.
You would have been in my hand if you were like a fallen ripe fruit.
If there was fish in the lake, it would have been caught.
You would have been in my hand if you were like a fallen ripe fruit.
Lines of hands melted on hands like snow.
Youth can fly away in a blink of an eye.
I am beautiful than the flower.
What more do you want than this?
That's what you need in life.
How can you say that now, Mr. Surya Hang?
No matter what or how much you said, we brought offerings as per tradition.
If it’s not enough, we can add as much as you want.
Is this a joke?
We have brought offerings.
It’s not like that, let’s discuss it peacefully.
To strengthen the bond between Sartap and Nawamidanda,...
...you proposed a marriage alliance for your daughter.
Greetings, I truly don’t know what to say, but staying...
...silence won’t hide the truth, either.
Things are tough for me right now.
I didn’t dare to call you earlier,...
...but it’s been five days—my daughter still hasn’t come home.
I request you to understand my situation.
Hey, keep quiet.
Asshole.
-You stay here. -Creating havoc, asshole.
-Hey, you stay here. -Stay here, you come here.
We have understood the culture of your family.
We had come here to create a relationship but we have lost our pride and respect.
Thank you!
Please do not say that.
Do not say anything Mr. Surya Hang.
Hope 10 Limbus and 17 clans' well-wish goes out to you.
Since you are running in an election this time, we will be facing each other.
Namaste! Let’s go.
(LIMBU LANGUAGE)
Hey, asshole!
Hey, Jetha.
Hey Ikse!
Hey!
-You are my sister. -He is ruining everything.
If you are hiding inside, come here.
-Mother! keep quiet. -Come on.
See, your brother is here to get you.
I will cut everything.
Asshole.
He will ruin everything.
Stop it.
Keep quiet, nothing will happen.
This is the one.
Hey, traitor’s family.
Come outside.
Who put an evil eye on us?
Keep quiet.
In the name of friendship, you turned out to be the real enemy.
Hey, where did you hide Dambare?
I will cut him into big pieces.
He ruined everything.
Hey Misek, do not make noise.
Shut up. Shut up.
-Shut up. -Shut up.
Don't know what will happen more?
Nothing will happen, it's just Misek.
We had a golden opportunity to strengthen our bond
with peopel of Sartap, but now things have taken a turn.
It’s been four days—they’re still searching for them.
Don’t know what’s going to happen now.
Drama.
The Kafle family has ruined everything.
The past still burns in our memory.
If you can live in oppression, then do so, but if
not, don’t blame us for what comes next.
Hey Ekle, are you still reminiscing the past?
You can’t hold an entire family responsible for one person’s mistake.
The younger brother made a mistake, and he is blaming everyone.
Sister-in-law, add it to my account.
I have been searching, brother.
I have been searching.
I’ve searched all over Jhapa, but there’s no sign of them.
This isn’t my fault, nor is it my mother’s.
We, a single Kafle family, have lived here for so
long, always considering you as one of our own.
I’d also like to hear what Misek has to say.
Are you really planning to drive us out of here?
No one said that.
Khadga brother has heard it all.
Some people don’t wish us well.
I know that.
Hey Dharani brother,...
...just a moment, please.
I am busy brother.
I am not building this house anymore.
Why?
I do not have enough money.
Hey brother, once something’s started, it’s best to see it through.
You never know what might come up later—even I might not have the time then.
I won’t lie to you—so let me speak the truth.
Your brother has brought shame upon us, the Angdembe clan.
We haven’t seen him alive or dead, nor heard a word about them being married.
There
Sambahanphe of Ranigaun, Lawati of Yashok, Chemjongs
of Phakthep, and Tumrok of Siwa all mock us.
Such...
My brothers say that nothing good can come from living in a house built by a traitor.
That’s why,
I can’t go through with it.
Neither I nor the Angdambe clan will accept a house built from you.
Now, I understand why father always...
...wanted us to move to Jhapa.
The very people who once loved us don’t...
...even want me to build their house anymore.
Don’t be sad.
God is there with you.
You will be looked upon by him,...
have patience.
Where is he?
What might he be doing?
He hasn’t even lifted a finger to do any kind of work.
Now, focus on yourself.
All this worrying won’t help you...
...it will only hurt you.
You didn’t have time to build your house,...
...but now you have all the time in the world.
In such a big Limbu village,...
...your Kafle family is the only one and a minority.
You must have family and relatives somewhere.
Are you guys ready?
Yes, we are.
(Religious chanting)
Hail ! our clan deity.
(Religious chanting)
Today, the worship of our clan deity has concluded.
Have we made any mistakes during the ritual?
Will our clan deity punish the Kafle clan in anger?
Lord, please tell us everthing.
Due to one person our whole clan has been cursed.
Who is that person?
Well,
He said he'd come before the ritual, but he is still not here.
So, are culture, religion, and traditions no longer important?
He didn't even come for the clan deity ritual.
Hey, where is your father?
(Nepali Song in the background)
Uncle!
Hey, Uncle!
Uncle!
Hey, Uncle!
Oh!
It was you Thula.
I...
...was so into the song, I didn't know it was you Thula.
(Nepali Song playing in the Background)
And
Thula, you didn't take part in the Kafle ritual?
It's not like, it won't happen without me.
(Nepali Song in the Background)
(Nepali Song in the background)
Brother Dharani!
Hey brother!
Food is ready.
Well...
It might look like I am crossing the line but...
...brother, what I don't understand is...
You belong to lowland.
Why did you decide to build a house here in this solitude and hazy place ?
Do not isolate yourself brother.
Poor Khadga brother doesn’t know anything.
There is a different story behind building a house here.
Everyone has gotten potato seeds from Silauti.
Hey Jetha, if we wait for your father, I don’t...
...think we’ll be planting potatoes this time.
He isn't here yet, don't know when he'll be back.
Mother, I'll not go to highlands.
I’m not sure if they’ll exchange seeds for this corn.
Why are you shy about going to your father's soul friend’s place?
One year, my father did not come home,...
...even when it was time to plant potatoes.
And I had to go to Silauti Hill by myself.
father's soul friend’s house
Well, highlands' crops cannot grow in lowland.
lowlands' crops cannot grow in highlands.
That is why every year, people from upper...
...hill and lowland used to clean this path.
Young girls from the upper hill used to clean downwards.
Young boys from the lowland used to clean the path upwards till mountain pass.
We used to exchange foods and joke around.
It was so fun.
Our villager, Sher hang Angdembe, used to joke a lot.
Oh! highlands' potato is really nice.
No matter what we do, we can't grow potatoes this big.
What kind of eyes are they?
They can see the big potato, but not the hot chili or sichuan pepper!
Aww...
Our girls are far more spicer and stronger than this pepper or chilli.
-Yes. -There is nothing more to say.
And...
...ladies, you...
...didn't have our rice.
Why is that, please have some.
-Little bit. -No, no enough dude.
We cannot digest this rice.
Well, the highland area does not have appropriate...
...soil to farm such rice grains, isn't it?
Highlanders have a pure heart and rich soil to nurture everything soft.
It used to be fun.
Now, there are roads, vehicles, and everything
can be brought directly to the doorstep.
All the old things have been forgotten.
Who is it?
Your father's soul friend’s son
Oh!
-Oh! -Soul father (mit-buwa)!
-Namaste! -Hello, Soul son.
Look at my soul son.
He has grown bigger than his father.
Look at him.
She is your sister.
He is your brother. Greet him.
Namaste!
Brother.
What's wrong with her?
She is the eldest one.
This is the middle one.
Another one is sleeping.
And another one in on the way.
Ouch! what are you doing?
You can farm, grains, corns and millets in your lowland.
You can farm crops for 3 times a year.
Here.
We have just potatoes in highlands.
Where there are potatoes, there is life;...
...without potatoes, there is no life.
Are you alseep?
-No. -Yes.
Why would you sleep now?
Your father and I used to talk for three days and three nights.
Didn't know we could talk that much.
One must definitely acknowledge my soul-friend's craftsmanship.
I followed him thoroughly.
But I couldn't grasp the skill.
I could just patch things.
Most of the houses in Satyarupa have been built by soul-friend.
Isn't it son ?
Yes.
But now, he doesn't stay at home.
He is always out and about.
Is that so?
Where does he go?
What are you talking about?
He goes looking for old coins and hidden treasure.
That...
Talks about searching for precious stones.
Soul-friend has lost his purpose.
Maya!
Hey, Maya!
Why are you calling me?
I had just gone to the toilet.
The wind is blowing extremely.
Shut the door and windows properly.
Son, listen to me.
You've come at the time to weed the potato field.
I have invited our Gurung brothers from the West
to teach us the traditional Chutka dance and song.
You should also stay here and learn for 4 to 5 days.
I'll have to go back.
My mom will worry.
I haven't even brought any clothes.
Why are you worried about staying at your own place?
Stay without worry.
True.
My clothes are here.
Or will that not do?
I had told you I would build a solid house for you.
You do not listen to me.
What can be done, now?
I cannot mend it with this hand.
Hey Maya!
Yes.
Get water for brother.
Okay.
Sit.
Did you recognise her?
Bro, I don't think he recognised, he saw me when he was very young.
Aunt.
Manmaya Aunt.
-Namaste! -God bless you, son.
Yesterday's storm...
...destroyed aunt's house.
Go and have a look.
I cannot mend houses.
Why are you talking such nonsense?
Some skills are inherited genetically.
-Mother? -Yes.
Who is he?
What are you talking about?
Don’t you remember him?
He’s your Mithe uncle’s soul-friend's son, down below...
...from Satyarupa.
You're a friend of Sher hang solti from Satyarupa, aren't you?
Yeah, I thought I’d seen you somewhere before.
Dude from lowland came to highlands.
Dude, the highlands wind might just blow you away!
You used to come to my uncle's place when you were little, right?
Then, tell me, what was I like when I was little?
I forgot.
Why are you teasing him?
Let the shy man work.
I am not teasing him.
Aunt!
Hey, aunt!
Let me know if you are thirsty,...
...I'll give you local alcohol.
Here is your bundle of thread.
It was difficult to find.
I would’ve been pissed off if you hadn’t brought it.
You were supposed to come yesterday.
I would have arrived yesterday, but there was heavy rain and storm on the way.
I would have mended that easily myself.
As if you would be able to.
Do you want it?
A breeze blew at the mountain pass.
A breeze blew
A breeze blew at mountain pass
A breeze blew
A breeze blew at the mountain pass
Always playing around.
Hopping from branch to branch.
At times, as if weary — like a melody made of fragrance.
-Leaf... -Our Phool liked your...
...song, Dharani brother.
Come on, sing.
You're more focused on milk, curd, colostrum and buttermilk.
Brother, you'll get this kind of colostrum here.
Do you want to taste it?
Give him some.
Shall I?
We Kafles also have different story related to colostrum.
In the name of colostrum...
...Kafle was split into Stale Kafle and Fresh Kafle.
Which Kafle are you?
We are stale.
Stale colostrum is tastier.
Oh my god!
Stale Kafle is even capable of joking.
Brother...
...please sing a song.
Sing a song.
Please sing a song.
Come on, sing.
Or else, even the song might go stale!
Baby will wake up, keep quiet.
Oh! it's already night.
Mother will be angry.
I couldn't even listen to Kafle's song.
I cannot have this much.
Hey,...
...if you’re not having nutritious food now, then when will you?
Have it.
I cannot digest it.
And...
...Phool niece was with you all, wasn't she?
Yes.
Where is she?
Like your niece is going to stay here the whole time.
She must have already reached home.
It's difficult for Phool.
Her mother is alone.
And no one knows where her father is.
He has given them a lot of trouble.
Niece!
Maya!
Come with me.
I will not go.
I have much work to do.
Go.
Niece must have gotten scared.
Won't I feel scared to come back later?
Younger sister is alone.
Will she not get scared?
At night time.
Go son.
Give them company.
Hey!
I feel like, I am walking on top of a cemetary.
Scaredy-cat.
What if something sharp and sweet comes up?
Why don't you get married and stay here?
Will you call him your brother in law?
Yes.
Brother...
...sing a song please.
(Singing god prayer)
Hey, don't do it, no, no.
(Chanting prayer)
What did you see in your prayer?
Do you see black buffalo in your dreams?
Black, black...
Oh! no.
Everything is fine, Tumba (elder father), and nothing needs to be done.
Huh?
If there is nothing then why is he like this?
-Something must have happened. -Okay.
-Where shall I keep this? -Here, here.
(Murmurs Prayer Chant)
Actually, what has happened to him?
He was fine till yesterday.
What happened to you?
Don't know.
A small pebble had fallen on the road.
Our brother is...
We even saw Kafle's heart.
Is aunt home?
I don't know.
I'm heading back to Sikkim early this time, so pack everything you've got.
You do not speak with me.
Why did Phool get angry?
You start your thing.
Do you see this potato?
This potato is called Golthangje.
It doesn't grow properly.
It grows in a weird shape.
Do you see this?
This is Yenes.
This came later.
The one you're picking up is called Jhyale.
This is really tasty.
Do you see the one behind you?
This one is Bitte.
Well,...
I had grown approximately 160 tons of potatoes before.
But this year, potatoes didn't grow much.
Well, it didn't snow this year.
So, how can potatoes grow?
Father, it's done.
Okay.
Go and take these potatoes to Manmaya aunt.
They are not going to farm.
I will not take these potatoes there.
Oh!
Why will you not?
I was happy you were here.
Mother, do not keep talking about father.
He was never here when we needed him.
And now, after such a long time, when Rangam
brought the news, you forgot everything.
Do not teach me much.
I do not like anyone teaching me.
I know, how I brought you up all alone.
How long can you stay, you are meant to go to other's house.
Where shall I keep the patotes?
Where are we going, soul father?
Walk quitely.
I'll tell you after we reach there.
I think my mother has started worrying.
I'll have to go today.
Okay, go.
This is the way.
This is the shorter route.
Do you want some money for expenses?
Shall I give it to you?
I am thinking something else, here.
Come.
Hello!
As you've come from the west...
...we would like to greet and welcome you on behalf of the Eastern Gurung community.
Namaste!
I hope you can teach us many things.
Teach us thoroughly.
We're eager to learn and grow.
Ha! Isn't it folks?
Yes.
Okay.
-So, we'll start than. -Okay.
Okay, thank you.
We've come here to meet Eastern lady, as we missed her.
We called saying,"Where are you, love?"
We called saying,"Where are you love?"
(Traditional Gurung song warm up)
Okay.
Food is here.
Have some sweets.
Soul father!
Looks like even I can create a song.
Oh!
Is it?
So,...
...seems like even my soul friend's son can create a song.
So sing it.

Oh! wow

Oh! wow
Brother, I think it has already started.
How are you doing?
Seems like it will work here.
Your bright eyes have pierced my heart so
deep, that I cannot look anywhere else.
Your bright eyes have pierced my heart so deep, that I cannot look anywhere else.
Oh! I cannot look anywhere else
Your bright eyes have pierced my heart so deep, that I cannot look anywhere else.
Oh! I cannot look anywhere else
Oh!
Go, catch the sunrays from the lowlands,
They’ll shine in the higher ones,
and if you get the chance, come, speak to us.
Go, catch the sunrays from the lowlands, they’ll shine in
the higher ones, and if you get the chance, come, speak to us.
Oh! wow
And if you get the chance, come, speak to us.
Go, catch the sunrays from the lowlands, they’ll shine in
the higher ones, and if you get the chance, come, speak to us.
Oh! wow
And if you get the chance, come, speak to us.
Good!
Your sister is so attached to you...
...she never does this with others.
Hey,...
...do not cry, brother...
...will come back.
Father, I'll leave.
Okay.
Well, my friend might have forgotten my face.
You are going early.
When you come next time,...
...stay for a month.
Okay, I'll keep coming back.
Okay.
Okay, bye.
Hey!
Kafle!
Don't you have to come to us?
Going without saying bye?
I did see you.
Here.
My mother sent this to, Brahmin mason.
Its bamboo shoot pickle.
Take it home.
Do not finish it on the way.
Can you write?
Write in this auto diary and give it to me.
You have time till Panchami fair.
Go straight home.
Or else you might be late.
Second brother
...has gone mad.
You also...
...want to go to Jhapa.
You are like the priest of our clan.
If you leave,...
...nobody would want to stay in this village.
younger brother, even I would not stay.
It is one of our own who is bringing ruin to the clan.
We cannot say anything to others.
You took 3 to 4 days to come back.
How many kilos of potatoes did you bring, nephew?
Around 25 kilos.
He is always angry.
Whatever it is, I am his elder father.
What has happened to Maila's (second brother’s) family?
I have given him the ancestral house to live-in.
Dharani also goes to meet up woodcarver near the river.
I have seen him there.
He probably eats their food too, when he’s there.
I've repeatedly asked that woodcarver to leave our property.
He doesn't listen.
He fights back saying riverbank's land can be shared.
Do we continue allowing him to stay on our land?
I believe that, since he is staying in our land, our clan has been cursed.
Younger brother, a house divided against itself cannot stand.
Oh god!
Where did you get so much money and jewelry?
Everyone thought I was useless, but I earned it through my business.
Where's for me?
Have I not given it to you?
-No. -Wait.
Why do you need money?
As if I wouldn't need it?
Here.
Here...
...wear it.
-Me? -Yes
It looks good on you.
Looking good, keep wearing it.
-Me? -Yes.
Wear it.
Hey Jetha (Elder son) !
I have thought of...
...selling downhill farmland.
The thing is that...
...there in Taplejung, someone has an old coin.
Do you understand?
He can sell for Rs. 2 lakhs.
I have a buyer in Siliguri who is ready to pay Rs. 10 lakhs.
We will have Rs. 8 lakhs profit.
Isn't it?
With that, we could buy 2-4 acres of agricultural...
...land in Jhapa, which would be useful for everyone.
After all, all the Kafles are moving downhill to Jhapa.
It seems like only we'll be here in this village, later.
What do you think?
This...
...stupid...
...key is not working.
And I am having trouble with this.
Uncle?
Where are you?
I am here.
Oh!
This key is not working.
I have brought log for you.
Now, please don't ask me to get the log, as elder father was angrily...
...saying that all the logs have been taken by the woodcarver.
Your elder father complains a lot.
He hasn't even given this year's crops and does he expect me to starve now?
Why are you complaining it to me?
One day...
...I am going to shout at him.
Are you done?
Yes, at last, it's working.
Thula dear,...
...you have helped me, could you please do me one...
...more favour of going up there and opening the water.
You always pamper me by calling me dear and ask me for help.
Hey uncle,...
...is it coming?
Not yet, open it fully.
It's done.
Dear Phool,...
...why did you give me your soft and wonderful auto diary?
You must have thought I was worthy of it.
Thank you so much.
But I am in a dilemma.
As I write, my feelings may evolve into something greater like Tamor river.
As it grow higher, it may become like the Phaktanglung mountain.
Whatever and however I write,...
...please forgive me and read it.
It was the blooming season, and you were running...
...after the butterfly in the flower garden.
I still remember that day vividly, with the image...
...engraved in my mind—a memory that keeps returning to me.
Can you hear butterfly singing?
A fairy in a red sweater is etched deep in my heart.
Can you see the flower smile and butterfly sing?
I know you were joking with me when you asked,...
..."How did I look when I was little?"
Phool, it’s not just your childhood, I know every stage of your life very well.
I used to look at you from afar,...
...where no one could see me.
And I used to question myself.
When will you go near the flower, little bumblebee?
Finally, luck is on my side.
Since you gave me a chance to express my feelings in your auto book.
You understood me.
You truly understood me, Phool.
If you hadn't understood me, maybe I wouldn't...
...have had the guts to speak to you ever.
That's just how my nature is.
Yours truly, stale Kafle.
Dharani Dhar.
Wow, Kafle, you look dashing today.
Who is going to talk about our Sher hang brother?
Lets see?
Don't talk too much.
You are looking like a groom.
Jokers!
If it's like this then, I don't think he'll be home tonight.
True.
Hey father!
I need some money for the fair.
What are you talking about?
Where will your old man get money?
I haven't inheritated anything from your grandfather.
Nonsense!
You are a former Chief head of local body, do you keep forgetting that?
Why are you talking about the dead?
At the end you'll have to give money to me.
Nonsense.
Here.
How much is it?
Comb your hair.
Apply oil on it.
Just go and waste money at the fair and in the shops,...
...even though you haven’t earned a single rupee! Useless!
Hey, hey!
All that complaining just for this.
-Hey Misek? -Yes?
I left my comb, go get it.
I cannot.
Just go and get it or else I'll hit you.
Go.
Looks, like it is going to be awesome today.
Isn't it?
Hey, get it quickly.
You are not using this, go.
-Let's go. -Let's go.
Little brother you go home.
Let's go.
We are already late.
So many ladies must be waiting for us.
This pair of glasses is for the road.
And this pair of black glasses is for the fair.
Like this.
It is fitting you, brother.
Yes, and as it is black it will cover my slanted eyes.
Hey boys,...
...clean yourself up.
Or else the girls will tease you for that.
Hey boys, I think I'll keep moving.
-Is it? -Sit for a while.
We have walked for 2 to 3 hours, let the sweat dry up.
I have some work, I'll keep moving.
What kind of work?
We came together, so let's go together.
You guys keep coming.
He left.
He just left, what work does he have?
Don't know.
What's wrong with him?
Clean yourself up boys.
Okay.
High in the hills of Panthar
Sunrise blesses the forehead
Let my name be etched in your heart
How much for the peanut?
Rs.10.
Give it to me.
Mountain pass sang a sweet song swaying gently
Love bit deep into my heart like the snow
-Keep it, keep it. -Here, here.
Flag, Flag.
-It is empty, keep some money. -We got Rs. 10.
-We got Rs. 10 in diamond. -Club is empty.
-Slowly. -Anyone wants to put?
Pick it up, pick it up.
Rs. 10 at the club.
3 for heart.
3 for heart, 4 for heart.
4 for heart, 4 for heart.
(People chatting in the backgorund)
We'll have to distribute the money.
Taste this, it's really good.
Didn't you come here from Darjeeling?
How did you know?
When I was a child, my father and I used to visit my father's soul friend's place.
Do you remember everything about your childhood?
Tell me, what was I like during my childhood?
I have written everything about your childhood in this auto diary.
Don't read it now.
Read it later.
Okay, okay.
Why did you move from Darjeeling?
To have this peanut.
Why, can't we come here?
Nothing like that.
You can.
Do you know Charrate hill?
My father used to look after a shed and animals there.
While selling ghee, and Himalayan cheese in Silauti, he met my mother.
They fell in love at first sight.
I was born in that Charrate shed.
After I was born, we all went to Darjeeling.
After that, my father also left the shed.
Later, he went to Kolkata for a work.
He didn't come back.
That is why uncle brought us here.
After falling sick, he is back to the same shed.
Rangam visits him frequently.
Every day, my mother wishes to go to my father after hearing that he is unwell.
Love and hope are such mysterious things.
What might you be thinking?
Why did I tell you everything?
Don't tell anyone.
Hey, there's one click left, do you both want to take a photo?
You look old in that pose.
Give another pose.
Hey brother, if you put this flower in this...
...beautiful girl's hair, it will look really good.
This is the last reel, it may or may not work.
Okay ready guys.
Hey!
Hey girl, I was wondering where you went without...
...continuing our discussion, and here you are.
I thought you said you were in a hurry, what kind of hurry is this?
Move aside.
We met by coincidence.
Do you think this happens by coincidence— with the studio and everything?
Take a photo of us together, you move aside.
Ok.
That was the last click, and it's over.
Oh! Is that so?
Shit!
Come, let’s go down, we can take a photo, and...
...we also have to complete our discussion.
You go too.
I am leaving.
Why is she here with him?
How can she come here without completing the discussion?
We were together till 2 pm.
After that we started playing games and we couldn't find him.
One son is busy being a gangster and staying in a jail.
Another son is busy being a loverboy and cannot stay in one place.
Hey Dharani, you had gone to the Panchami fair, did you see my son Sher hang?
Why, Tumba (elder father)?
Have you seen him or not?
Do not lie, and if you did see him, who all did you see him with?
See,...
...I did see him.
Was he alone or was he with a friend?
I saw him with a Gurung girl...
...from highlands.
After that I do not know anything, Tumba (elder father).
I think he went with that Gurung girl.
Now, I am sure of it.
That stupid, asshole, has ashamed me infront of the whole Sartap clan.
I don't get it, if she was eloping with someone else, why did she give me hope?
Why did she call me to meet up at markets?
Why did she take photo with me?
I am shocked.
You are foolish!
Your soul father's friend's house is nearby...
...go there...
...and get the information.
Would it kill you to just get the information?
You should be happy with what you have.
Soul father!
Namaste!
Mother namaste!
Namaste!
Soul son!
Where did you suddenly come from?
Oh!
I don't see Maya?
Where is she?
What?
Don't take her name.
She has ashamed us.
Didn't you say that she eloped with Sher Hang ...
...or was it Cher Hang from your village?
-Leave it uncle. -How can I?
Even in death, I won't let her touch me, understood!
My death rituals will be done by my daughters, Sunmaya will do it.
But there is a rumor about Phool in the lower hill area.
It is not Phool.
Poor girl, doesn't she have to go to the highlands to graze cattle?
Didn't you have to check who she was talking to and making friends with?
And...
...what's the news, Thula.
It was not Phool.
It was Maya, my soul father's daughter.
Oh!
See...
Didn't I tell you or not?
You should open up about your feelings or else...
...it'll be difficult for you, Thula.
So, what should I do?
What can I do?
And...
Didn't you say that she called you for a meetup?
Do you think I'll lie to you?
She not only called me, we also had a heart-to-heart talk.
She was so sad that it was difficult for me to persuade her.
Thula, people do not become sad for no reason.
If you can’t share your feelings at this age, then there’s nothing I can do.
Or,...
...the way Maya eloped even Phool might elope with someone else.
It's just like Himalayan Monal bird...
...falling on my land.
Father's soul friend was...
...asking me to come and help during his difficult time.
He was saying, 'During this difficult time, you’re the only son I have.
If you don’t help me now, then when will you?'
I do not want to go.
They enforce so much.
I'll be all alone here.
If it's that difficult then you'll have to go.
Ouch!
Do you want more milk?
No, I am done.
Is anyone here?
Who is it?
Can I get some water, please?
You won't get water from the door, you'll have to come inside for that.
It looks like you are starving to death.
Do you live all alone in this deserted hill?
Where can I find a partner at this age?
And where is your husband?
He is looking at...
after a shed all alone at Charrate.
Oh! so you both live separately?
We could not tolerate each other, that's why. (jokingly)
Where are you going?
I am going till Charrate.
How much time will it take to reach Charrate?
For someone as young as you, it'll take about 3 to 4 hours.
It’s a forest area, and dangerous animals roam around.
Can't you go in the morning?
No. I'll have to go today.
It's urgent.
Do you mind taking some things for my husband?
It is all packed as I was waiting for someone to take it, thank god you came.
I don't know whether I'll find it or not?
Ask for a shed of Magar Kaila...
...anyone can direct you.
Is anyone here?
I have lost my way.
Is anyone here?
God would bless you.
Is anyone here?
Help!
Oh, no!
Where did you come from, this late?
What are you doing here?
Where is Phool's shed?
I am here to tell her that I like her.
Properly, properly.
Go, go.
Come here.
Go, go.
Go.
You are wearing such wet clothes at this time.
Aren’t you afraid of being in the forest at night?
Where is Magar Kaila's shed?
I honestly have no idea what happened last night.
If you walk senselessly, how would you know what you're doing?
I know where Magar Kaila grandpa's shed is.
Who kept your name Chhintu?
My father did.
Do you always live with your father?
Yes, my father is unwell and has gone out, so I’m staying with Phool sister.
How is Phool your sister?
I don't know how, but in relation she is my sister.
Where is your mother?
My mother is in Sikkim, it's been ages I haven't met her.
Don't you love your mother?
I love her.
That is Magar Kaila grandpa's Shed.
I'll go now.
Hey, won't you come?
No, I'll play with baby yaks.
Come on in, brother.
I cannot speak Hindi.
Oh!
I thought you were India's boarder police.
They often come to get Himalayan cheese, and butter, that is why I spoke Hindi.
Isn't this Magar Kaila's Shed?
Yes, it is.
I am Magar Kaila.
Come inside.
-I got your things. -Oh!
Please sit.
I understood, when I saw this.
She troubles everyone who comes to the hillside.
Because of love.
And, where are you from?
I am from lowland, Satyarupa.
-Oh! lowland, Satyarupa? -Yes.
Why are you here in the...
...border?
Do you sell rum of Sikkim or do you carry it?
-No. -Oh!
I've come here to meet someone but...
...more to roam the place.
Okay.
What are you doing?
My yak is unwell.
So, if you apply this alum on its hoof and face, it will soothe it.
Oh! Is it extremely unwell?
Yes, it is.
Here, here.
Yes, good.
Here, here.
Isn't he the one who did that?
Isn't it?
Come, come.
Chhintu is extremely fun.
Yes, he is wise.
He behaves well.
He keeps remembering his mother.
Did you know about Chhintu from before?
No.
I didn't know.
Until I met him, I didn’t know anything about him, nor did he matter to me.
Once I met him, I felt bad for him.
Where is his mother?
Everyone has their own destiny to bear.
My father left me.
And, his mother left him.
Have your mother and father patched up now?
Yes.
When my mother found out that my father was unwell, she...
...came here even though my uncle had refused to send her.
This Chhintu was looking after my father.
I used to get angry thinking about my father.
But when I saw my father and mother together...
...I believed that the family is supposed to be like this.
After a long time, I saw my mother happy.
Now, she has taken my father to Siliguri.
My situation is also the same.
Father is hardly ever home.
It is just my mother, my brother, and me at home.
Pack up and go, fast.
It could be tough after dark, just like last time.
I'm not in a hurry.
I know the way.
What do you mean by, you're not in hurry?
What will others say, if they see you?
I know you, that's why I gave you shelter.
Sister, Rangam brother is here.
Sister, Rangam brother has arrived.
What are you people doing?
Where...
I cannot see any preperation.
I've got things from far away.
Lazy people.
Have you started smoking leaf-rolled cigarette?
Your Mithe mama (uncle) was asking,...
..."When will my Phool niece come back?"
His mother is going to be happy, too.
She used to complain a lot when I went to Sikkim, saying,...
..."Wish I could see him."
She used to say,"Let me meet him once for real."
Come and wear your clothes, fast.
Don't you want to go visit your mother in Sikkim?
Come on, get up, get up.
Come fast after visitng your mother.
Ok.
Father will be angry if he finds out.
Say bye to your sister.
Huh?
No.
And...
Did anyone come to the shed, yesterday?
No, no one came.
Do not lie and tell me.
No one came.
Why did you come out from under the bed without waiting for me?
What if someone sees you from outside?
Let them see.
Have I come here to hide all the time?
Why are you here, why did you come?
I came here to tell you that I like you.
Oh Kafle!
You’re here to tell me something I don’t know?
Did I give you to fill the auto diary or to write a love letter?
Now, I cannot give it to others.
Unbelievable! Even when you faint, all you can say is that you like Phool!
Do you think it's that easy to like and love someone?
I truly do it.
What else do you want me to say?
Just leave the love of your life all alone in the shed, and walk away.
Hey!
What is this?
Weren't you going to Sikkim yet you're still here?
Have you already been to Sikkim this quick?
-Namaste! -Namaste!
Hey listen,...
...my yak is alright.
Where is your alcohol?
It's best I don't drink, I've never had it.
What are you saying?
Nothing will happen, just drink it in one go and you'll feel amazing.
You'll have fun, drink it.
-Dear, give him some. -No, I won't take it,
What are you saying?
-His yak is well and he... -Give him.
-...is extremely happy. -Give him.
-Have it one shot, you'll feel blessed. -He keeps talking about that.
Well, look at us...
...I am from Darjeeling and he is from Nepal.
We didn't match by caste, nor by place.
But our hearts matched which was enough.
At times, she sweet-talks.
However...
...even when two hearts align, it's still not enough.
Oh god!
My father-in-law was stubborn about not marrying his daughter off in Nepal.
However, we fell in love, and I was confused about what to do.
On top of that, my caste is Magar, her caste is Newar.
I did everything to convince my father-in-law...
...and now our life is like this.
Brother, if you were in my shoes, what would you have done?
I wouldn't be scared at all.
I would have eloped.
Big heart
Such a brave heart.
What shall I roof the house with?
There is neither hay or twigs.
What shall I roof the house with?
There is neither hay or twigs.
If it's in my destiny, I will earn without any inheritance
Small cow gives milk in quantity, shall I have it or not?
Shall I choose a person who cannot ask for my hand?
Paddy dried out of sunshine, Kafle asks to elope, shall I go or not?
He says he will plant crops in barren field after plowing.
Trying to elope with just eye contact, without any rituals, to the faraway hills
Kafle asks me to elope with him, shall I go or not?
Paddy dried out of sunshine, Kafle asks to elope, shall I go or not?
I thought I would be able to listen to Kafle's song, which is why I liked you.
I must have made a mistake.
You don't sing at all.
Sing the same song you were singing when you were on the tree.
No.
Don't be afraid of steep cliffs, landslides, and river paths.
Don't forget, love has blossomed in my heart — my whole life rests on you.
Hey friends, listen, I am confused, which love should I trust
the one who wants to elope with me or the love he shows?
Paddy dried out of sunshine, Kafle asks to elope, shall I go or not?
I...
...want to make a small house where there is no one.
And I want flowers around it.
That is why I am learning to build a house.
You are so naive, Dharani.
I love you.
You love me, too.
But most of our contexts do not match
My father said he’d take everyone to Darjeeling.
Can you go leaving me behind?
That is my place and my country.
I'll have to go.
We cannot always be dependent on others.
Everyone wants me to be dependent on them.
Have I said that?
You are Brahmin (caste) and I am Gurung (caste).
Do you have the courage to ask for my hand with my family?
You must be planning elopement, isn't it?
You were saying that infront of everyone.
I cannot keep running away.
I had to flee with my mother and come here as a child because of my father.
Now that my parents are finally together, do you want me to run away with you?
Am I supposed to spend my whole life running away?
When did I say that?
So, what are you trying to say?
Do you think it's that easy?
I haven't said that.
Shall I tell you without lying?
The last time you came to fix our roof, I couldn't stop thinking about my father.
If my father had been there, he would have...
...looked just like you while fixing the roof.
Mother said she can never forget your help.
Oh! What did you put on the roof this afternoon?
Open it and see.
You'll know it.
I was shocked after reading what you wrote on my auto book.
I had forgotten many things from my...
...childhood, like playing and just living.
You had kept me alive in your memories.
I am different, isn't it?
What are you like?
Why couldn’t I see it when you were so close to me for all those years?
May be because I was a fool.
May be because I was stupid.
What would you do if we couldn’t be together after many struggles?
I will not let that happen.
What if, it happens?
If it happens...
I will build a small house in the middle of a garden filled...
...with different flowers, and I will keep waiting for you.
Do you see the flowers smiling? Do you hear the butterflies singing?
Now, you go back.
What happened?
I thought I would knit you a woollen sweater.
But I couldn't finish it.
It's okay.
As if we are not meeting for ever.
Still.
Okay, you go back, I'll leave.
One day when we'll be separated from each other
Our sweet love will be like a thorn to us
We won't be able to sleep the whole night
Do not come to the roundabout
To see each other
As once we start our love, it will be difficult to go back
Do not come to the roundabout
One day when we'll be separated from each other...
...our sweet love will be like a thorn to us.
Khadga brother, life turned out to be like the song I sang for Phool.
And unimaginable events took place.
All my elders and uncles...
...cast you out, branding you as an untouchable.
-Uncle! -Hey you, leave.
They didn't even let you stay near the riverbank.
They wronged you.
I had really come to tell you the story of success, uncle.
Forgive me, uncle.
Even though I was an eyewitness,...
...I couldn’t speak out against this cruel upper society.
Brother!
Wait a moment, give.
-Brother, do I have to come up? -Yes.
After that, one night, it was pouring rain.
I saw my father in the garden, drenched in the rain.
The robbers robbed and beat my father, then left him lying on the road.
With great difficulty, he managed to reach home.
He told us the story.
Now it was time to start anew.
My father started working in a workshop.
He taught me, too.
We, father and son, started building houses.
Everything was going smoothly.
Hey, Bhuminanda, Bhuminanda Brother!
What are you doing?
Today, all three of us are here.
We trusted you, which is why we gave you the loan.
It's already been a long time.
I'll give it back brother.
Give me some time.
I just opened a workshop at home and have started working.
Give me three months time.
We cannot give you three months Bhuminanda.
If possible pay all your debt within a month.
Else, we have to come crossing the Nibu river.
(LIMBU LANGUAGE)
He will give back.
I don't think so.
I do not trust him.
Yes, on that line.
One day, my father saw my youngest uncle move to Jhapa.
Many things happened after that.
Father!
Where did he go?
Hey, father!
Huh!
-Father? -Ouch!
-Father! -Dear!
Go stop your father.
There is buried treasure here.
-Has he gone mad? -There is a buried treasure here.
-Stop him dear. -Hey father!
-Please stop this. -My elder son.
There's a buried treasure here.
What kind of curse will fall upon us, again?
I have seen a dream of buried treasure here.
-Mother? -Yes.
Stop him, dear
Let's go.
What kind of curse will fall upon us after destroying Limbu's cemetery?
Lets go.
You guys have destroyed everything.
He will never give us peace.
Do not complain.
There is buried treasure here.
What did my father ever do to you, that you had...
...to destroy his cemetery, you bloody Brahmin?
Are you trying to dominate us, you Brahmin fool?
You destroyed my father's cemetary, I will create your cemetary.
Jetha, keep quiet.
Elderly people are sitting here.
We need to settle some matters.
So just stay silent for a while.
Everyone has their own love, care, traditions and customs.
Didn't you shame us by destroying someone else's cemetary?
Let's not say ashamed, brother.
Why can't we say that?
Would you have said the same thing, if it was your father, you asshole?
Let's not talk that way.
It was something that should never have happened.
I am planning to do something good, but bad things are happening.
Truly speaking,my brother is unwell.
Oh! I'll make him better.
Brother Panchabir, we have been living in unity in this village for a long time.
We have faced many hardships together.
My brother has ruined it.
I would like to ask for forgiveness on behalf of my brother.
Your sorry is not going to settle our disturbed soul.
But if this happens again, you will all be banished from this village.
Understand that.
You stupid blacksheep.
Couldn't you think about your family's self-respect?
Hey Dharani!
What is it?
I've heard a rumor about you being with a Gurung girl.
Is it true?
Father is destroying Limbu's cemetary.
Son is going around with Gurung girl.
Don't you care about your clan's respect?
Did father...
...gamble?
Or did gambling destroy my father's life?
That mystery and my father's life were taken by the river.
Khadga brother, my dreams, my hobbies, and...
...my love all went away with my father.
Brother, I wanted to inform you about something.
Last time, I had gone home, only mother was there.
Brother, I met Dambare in Jhapa.
He is working as a loader.
First I was confused, if it was him or not.
When I called him, "Dambare", he looked back.
But...
...he is not like as he was.
He has become very thin.
Drop me here.
Why brother?
Stop here.
He might come if you call him.
If he could send a message, couldn’t he come here himself?
He must have gotten scared.
Tell me mother, what shall I do?
I don't know what to say.
You’re both his father and his brother.
Even for you, I couldn’t offer my support.
I blame myself that you...
...never got married.
Do whatever you feel like doing, dear.
Come on, lets move.
Don't complain, we won't go.
House is right infront of us and you don't want to go.
Brother.
Little brother !
Wow!
You are back, come here.
Okay.
God bless you!
What happened to you?
Kancha!
Now, you are back home.
Why do you have to cry?
Come here.
Grown ups do not cry.
Come here, come.
Sit here.
I made a huge mistake, brother.
Please forgive me.
You haven't made any mistakes, come, sit here.
Come here.
Stop crying.
Look at me.
Why are you crying?
You are doing, what you feel is right.
You haven't made any mistakes.
We are extremely happy.
I troubled you a lot, brother.
Greetings with respect!
Unknowingly, the flower from your...
...garden has wandered into ours.
Now it blooms more beautifully than...
...ever, dressed in a tapestry of colors.
As long as the sun and moon grace the sky, as long...
...as Phaktanglung mountain remains, they wish to bloom together.
We have raised them with such love and care;...
...if we do not accept them, where else will they go?
He could have asked for the hand of your daughter but he made a mistake of eloping.
After our mistake, we are here to ask for your forgiveness, and...
...we hope that a kind person like you will not turn us away.
We are here with this news.
Greetings with respect
She is our daughter.
Their clan is also pure.
What would you all like to say?
Ok.
Daughter-in-law!
Hey brother, the last time you went to Charrate, was it during snowfall?
That time, they bring all the animals downhill.
Brother, I'll leave.
Okay, brother.
Let's go.
What will you do, if after all we've been through, we still can't be together?
I'll never let that happen.
What if, that happens?
You gaze moon over the horizon
I’ll look at my moon, through your eyes.
I don’t believe in fate or stars — I’ll rewrite our destiny myself.
You are my day and night, so I'll wait for you
It was hidden in some corner, and finally, I found it.
Brother, where were you for so many years?
I believe we were alive just to give you these things.
-Can you see -The things left by Ful...
-flowers smiling? -...now you take the responsibility.
Can you hear butterflies sing?
Fog is waiting in the upper hill
Little by little snow and rain is drizzling
Can you see the flowers smile? Can you hear the butterflies sing?
I can't express myself in writing as well as you can.
I don’t know whether this sweater will fit you by the time you get this letter.
Will reading this letter make you happy or sad?
Whatever it is, I hope you can forgive me.
I don’t know whether the ink in this letter will remain or fade away.
But in my heart, the sweet moments spent with you will always...
...remain as a memory woven into each stitch of this sweater.
I wonder what you would look like wearing this sweater.
I wonder what it would be like to see our dream house being built.
I can feel you, even when you are not here.
Even without you touching, I can feel your touch
Meet me, without waiting for me
Wet me without raining
Buki flower, Phool.
Warm like you
Cool like you
Woolen sweater
Do you see the flowers smiling? Do you hear the butterflies singing
I wonder what you would look like wearing this sweater.
I wonder what it would be like to see our dream house being built.
You are a person who is scared to cross the...
...forest between the highlands and the lowlands.
I couldn't even ask you to come to me,...
...forgetting about the custom of this society.
If I am still alive, holding onto the hope of your love, I...
...will be waiting for you on the other side of the border.
Like you said, just like stale colostrum, stale love can also be truly meaningful.
Yours truly,
Phool.
