Program Note
In an overwhelmingly charming Alpine region in northern Nepal, Khando runs into a Khampa soldier while working in the mountains, falling in love and giving birth to a son. Her life, however, enters a tough path of turbulence like the unpredictable bad weather. Her husband has left home for such a long time that nobody knows if he is still alive, her brother has sold home and properties, then her sister has sold all the jewelry. The seven-year-old son, who is supposed to be the hope of her life, turns troublesome skipping school class and harassing other children. The villagers hesitate to let their children get along with him.
A strong and tough but uneducated woman, Kando hardly earns some buckwheat by working long hours at other’s farms. Therefore, she feels sorry for having little time to care for her son, but it is such a burden to become a good mother as well. Ama Khando gently depicts the stories of people pioneering and reconciling destiny, in which Fema DOLKER, who plays Khando, shows impressive acting. (PARK Sungho)
