As the cold winter sets in, a man returns to his remote Himalayan hometown for the first time in a while. The nomadic protagonist’s journey home reveals a growing emotional distance as he nears his village. The sense of loneliness and alienation he feels about the space he once called ‘home’ or ‘hometown’ are captured through the film’s predominant bluish tones and memorable backward dolly shots. Although he moves forward, the scene gradually pulls away. Lingering on the outskirts of the village, he has already missed his brother’s funeral, and no one in his family welcomes him back. The narrative and visuals unfold entirely from the protagonist’s perspective, and this experimental method draws viewers deeper into his inner world, prompting them to question the concepts of home, sense of belonging, and threshold of an outsiders.
