Likden, a guide in the valley and a computer science graduate, is busy preparing for his upcoming wedding, which will last four days, with more than 600 guests.
The Nyopa, spiritual guides of the community, must go and find the bride from her family, the occasion of a journey which also lasts several days. Like Likden, many young people of his age, attached to their region of origin, try to maintain a balance between tradition and modernity.
