The life of group of women living in Nangi, a tiny village on the rugged mountain ranges of
Nepal.
They are Magar Women. They produce income, decide for themselves, love nature. They
have a pronounced sense of community and have done of their village a model of women
emancipation.
In a country where the women conditions are one of the world's worst, the Nangi women
fight with the strength of their smile.
A choral film on these women seen in their everyday activities: the “group work” and the
herbarium, the community meetings and the religious rituals in the so called “Magic
Forest”. Around them the amazing landscape of one of the world most high and unknown
mountain ranges.
