synopsis
Slovak musician and actress Dorota Nvotová sets out on a long journey of self-discovery. She finds peace in the foothills of the Himalayas, one of the poorest corners of the world and a place that could not be more different from our own culture. In Nepal, Dorota runs a relatively successful travel agency focused on high mountain tourism. With the help of her Nepalese alter ego Fulmaya, we also explore the world of street children and life at the Happy Home orphanage, which Dorota looks after.A story full of authentic situations, the "otherness" of a distant world, human truthfulness, and them music of a Slovak rocker.
