This movie has been already released on Spain but showing on the cinemas in Nepal.
Veronica Echegui won the ‘Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role’ title in Gaudi Award from this movie. Movie was also nominated for other categories like Best Cinematography, Best Screenplay, etc.
The movie is about the Catalan teacher Laia who moves to Kathmandu in the early 90′s, to volunteer in a local school. She will soon discover extreme poverty and a devastatingly bleak educational system that leaves out the most needy. She initially protests and later decides to get married out of convenience, so as to legalize her situation and take on an ambitious educational project in the slums of Kathmandu.
Seems like a must see movie which deals with the educational scenario of Nepal.
