In the remote Tibetan villages of Upper Mustang, Nepal, climate change has desiccated the landscape. Water scarcity has forced the abandonment of Dhye village. The film profiles three resilient women fighting against their fate: Sonam, Kunchok, and Lhakpa. Most villagers have moved down to a river-fed valley and the new frontier town of Chambaleh, where they are growing a commercial apple crop. But Kunchok and Lhakpa stay with their beloved livestock and fields in ancient Dhye village.
