While Lhakpa completes his lengthy studies to become a Buddhist monk, his brother, SangBahadur, works as a porter for the international travellers who turn Everest into a tourist hub. Family issues force the youngest to come out of retirement to earn a living. In so doing, he is forced to confront the modern world in all its paradoxical complexity.
