Home (Ngima Gelu Sherpa)

A young Nepali man, preparing to launch a film-making career in Europe, is suddenly summoned home to the Everest region. His father, a livestock farmer like most Sherpas before they became known for mountaineering, is ailing. In this intimate portrait, the film-maker explores his relationship to home and his parents, and the world of tradition and ritual he thought he had left behind.
