Set against the backdrop of rural eastern Nepal, the film explores the difficulties of love amidst deep-seated social and traditional boundaries. The story revolves around the relationship between Dharanidhar, an innocent soft-spoken man who is a dutiful member of the traditional Kafle Bahun family, and Phool, a lively and spirited girl from the Gurung community. Their gentle, emerging love is immediately complicated by social realities of casteism, class divides, and the pressure of family lineage that still rigidly govern their society.
