White Sun

Pooja, a little girl, lives with her mother Durga and beloved paternal grandfather in a remote village in the eastern hills of Nepal. Her father Agni, whom she has never met, joined the Maoist guerrillas and left their village to fight against the regime years ago. The death of Pooja's grandfather brings Agni back to the village for the burial rites. Thrilled at the prospect of her father's reappearance, Pooja watches dismayed as he returns with a disabling war wound, struggles to cope with her mother's independence and self-assurance, and fights with the family's closest friend through the hard years - the village doctor Suraj, who was on the government side during the war.
