Synopsis: A tender fable about childhood innocence amid the realities of war is set against the rugged landscape of Kashmir, so long a flash point for the territorial claims of neighboring India and Pakistan. The title character, an eight year old mountain boy, often hears distant gunfire. But it is not until he goes on a quest to reclaim his beloved donkey, which has been confiscated as payment of his poor family's debts, that he is drawn toward a violence he has no capacity to understand.

Hey! Get lost. Go.

Oh! What's this? Why

are you carrying the bag?

We have a donkey. Give me.

C'mon.

It seems that donkey

is missing that boy.

Find him out.

There's no need. It will

be like asking for trouble.

This donkey will deal with this donkey.

C'mon.

Fast.

Where has he gone? He was here just now.

Hey!

Why you were struggling

with the mountains?

They look after us.

There is a method to

climb and get down from it.

Your Birbal didn't tell you this?

Give me. C'mon, drink this.

And you'll get well soon.

What are you looking at? I've

to handle all these troubles

How was it? c'mon, smile.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

Thank you. Let's go.

What is mightier? Brains or brawn?

Hey! What is mightier? Brains or brawn?

Brawn.

Who all are there in your home?

I'm all alone in this world.

O' donkey, she didn't ask you.

My aunt and my elder sister Jaya.

How much time you needed

for buying all these donkeys?

How much time we must have taken, Zafar?

Idiot! Around 4 years, dear.

years? - Yes.

Do you know why this place is so empty?

They all ran away.

Stop nonsense. These are

the homes of Kashmiri Pandit.

Quiet and deserted. All had to leave.

Friend!

Come.

Laska?

You know, TV reporters we

here. I saw. I was here.

Laska.

Once again you are hiding as always.

Zafar! Keep it here.

Hey!

Who is this Laska?

You'll know it soon.

He'll tell you soon.

An old friend. Who turned

away from the world of fear.

Who was deserted by his own.

And so now he neither

wants to talk to anybody..

.. nor would he talk.

Laska uncle! Panditji!

He lives with the memories.

With a hope that perhaps

the past days will be back.

Doesn't anybody stay here?

But if he is fearful, why

does he stay here alone?

He thinks it is better

to stay in his own home..

.. in this quiet place than

staying in refugee camps.

Zafar, you'll understand it

faster if you keep your mouth shut.

Uncle, I was going to

tell this same to Nadira.

But by the time you said it.

Mr. Suhan, who all stay in your home?

He has only a nephew.

All others were killed.

Come.

What are you doing?

C'mon. Hurry up.

C'mon. c'mon.

Get in.

C'mon. Go quickly.

C'mon.

Come on.

Shabir! You've come? Am I late?

Shabir, he is uncle Suhan.

He brought me here safely.

I'm zafar.

- Greetings!

Greetings!

May God bless you.

Thank you, uncle. Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Hurry up, Nadira. It's

the time of our wedding.

Mr. Zafar, it's the time of her wedding.

Today the goods won't reach on time..
