The Himalayas, a mysterious land said to be inhabited by gods. The journey of a young porter toward his dream, unbroken by heavy loads and heavy breathing. The Himalayas, a mysterious land where gods are said to reside and a sacred site for trekkers. Nestled in the embrace of the Himalayas, Nepal is a holy land for those aspiring to climb the peaks. However, excluding major cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara where travelers flock, most of Nepal's mountain villages still lack not only mobile phones but also telephones and electricity. Due to the steep terrain, cars, motorcycles, and bicycles are naturally useless. Regardless of who they are, anyone wishing to climb the Himalayas must walk. Foreign travelers climb the mountains barehanded, while impoverished Nepalese people carry the travelers' luggage up the mountain on their behalf. These Nepalese people are called porters. Although it is officially prohibited in Nepal to hire children as porters, amidst poverty where every penny counts, children set out to work as porters at the age of twelve or fourteen. We follow the dream journey sent from the Himalayas by Porter Robin, a boy who remains unbroken despite heavy burdens and rough breathing.
