Numafung
8.4
“Based on a renowned short story, Karobar Ki Gharbar, written in the Limbu language by the late writer and politician Kajiman Kandangwa.”
The film highlights the changing lives and ways of the Limbu people, an ethnic minority residing in rural eastern Nepal. It is a story of a young Limbu girl's struggle with cultural traditions, the impact of local medical practices on her life, and the effect of her actions on her community. The struggles of Numa, the young girl, represent the lives of many other young Nepali women, torn between fulfilling her desires and cultural traditions.
