Aliz Ghimire

In a small Nepalese village nestled in the heart of a forest populated by wild elephants, Pirati is the matriarch of a Kinnar community. She dreams of escaping to a “normal” life with the man she is in love with. But when one of her daughters disappears, she must investigate and choose between love and responsibility to her community.

Aliz, a reserved young man, quietly harbors feelings for his flatmate. Gathering the courage to confess, he is blindsided when the object of his affection brings home a girlfriend. As the night unfolds, Aliz is forced inward; grappling with unspoken desire, emotional repression, and the quiet devastation of loving in silence.
