The story is set in the fertile lands of Terai region, Nepal, a country of deep contradictions where Christoph Schwaiger has discovered and documented the tragic destiny of Nepalese girls. Sold by their families as slaves forced to work as servants for wealthy families, they’re called 'Kamlahari'. Deprived of their families and basic education, the tradition condemns them to a life of slavery.
