GHOST VILLAGES OF HIMALAYAS
89 year old Ammaji lives alone in a nearly abandoned ghost village in the strikingly beautiful Himalayas of Uttarakhand,India. Like most of the younger generation, her children have moved to far away cities for jobs. But Ammaji refuses to leave her home, the only place her soul is happy, even in the face of encroaching leopards, relentless loneliness and raw, harsh conditions. She is invited to attend a village ceremony and she embarks on a tough journey and makes her way to the temple. On the day of the ceremony a leopard marks its gritty presence by killing a cow in the village.
