With her yak Riri and an old cathodic TV, a mother journeys through the Kashmir Himalayan peaks to screen her sons banned film by fanatics and State, a path that breaks her body and mind but ultimately leads her to a profound, liberating freedom.

ತನ್ನ ಯಾಕ್‌ ರಿರಿ ಮತ್ತು ಹಳೆಯ ಕ್ಯಾಥೋಡಿಕ್ ಟಿವಿಯೊಂದಿಗೆ, ಒಬ್ಬ ತಾಯಿ ಕಾಶ್ಮೀರ ಹಿಮಾಲಯದ ಶಿಖರಗಳ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಸಿ, ಸರ್ಕಾರ ಮತ್ತು ಮೂಲಭೂತವಾದಿಗಳಿಂದ ನಿಷೇಧಿಸಲ್ಪಟ್ಟ ತನ್ನ ಮಗನ ಚಲನಚಿತ್ರವನ್ನು ಪ್ರದರ್ಶಿಸಲು ಹೊರಡುತ್ತಾಳೆ. ಈ ಪಯಣ ಅವಳ ದೇಹ ಮತ್ತು ಮನಸ್ಸನ್ನು ಮುರಿಯುವಂತಹ ಕಷ್ಟಗಳನ್ನು ನೀಡಿದರೂ, ಅಂತಿಮವಾಗಿ ಅವಳನ್ನು ಆಳವಾದ, ಮುಕ್ತಿದಾಯಕ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯದತ್ತ ಕರೆದೊಯ್ಯುತ್ತದೆ.
