We are in the year 2001, a temporary ceasefire brings a much-needed break to a small war-torn village in Northern Nepal, bringing much joy among the residents. Prakash and Kiran, two young close friends, are also starting to feel the change in the air. Though they are divided by caste and social creed, they remain inseparable, and start raising a hen given to Prakash by his sister, with hopes to save money by selling her eggs. However, the hen goes missing. To find it, they embark on a journey, innocently unaware of the tyranny brought by the fragile ceasefire.

内战连绵多年之后，一名尼泊尔共产党员终于收拾行囊，带著路上巧遇的孤儿返回偏远家乡，好为甫逝世的父亲奔丧。他的亲兄弟在内战中投入了敌对阵营，水火不容的两人只好约定暂时休战；妻子则生下了其他男人的女儿，小女孩却以为他才是自己的亲生父亲。在抬着遗体下山火葬的这趟险峻路程中，隐忍已久的对立衝突终于全面爆发。导演将延烧十年的尼泊尔内战巧妙纳入一场葬礼之中，在这座偏远山村裡，男尊女卑与种姓制度仍然根深柢固；来自外界的男主角儘管曾为现代普世价值而战，但为了替亡父完成葬礼，却不得不屈从于信奉古老习俗的村中耆老。现代与传统、宗教与世俗，甚至家庭与亲情、战争与和平，终将在这一面飘扬著白日的尼泊尔国旗之下疗伤癒合。
