Synopsis
Minus 20 degrees celcius, 20 days of self-mortification, icy roads, sleeping outside and heavy shoulders; the story of a father who walks for his child starts now!

The Himalayas are covered in snow. Children go to school by crossing the Chaddar, which is an icy road that opens once a year. These children cross the Chaddar in the arms of their father even though it's dangerous enough that some people die trying to cross it. Once the ice melts he can't see his children for a year but the father crosses the Chaddar once again for the dreams of his children.
