Director Donagh Coleman uses the Himalayas as a backdrop to follow a family of goat and yak herders as they spend a year preparing pashmina wool for market. Their livelihood depends on the income from the wool, and every member of the family, from young children to grandparents, helps with the painstaking process of nurturing the baby goats through the harsh winter, sheering their bellies, separating the wool one strand at a time, and finally weaving blankets. The family struggles to send two boys to school. They successfully drop their inquisitive seven-year-old Kunsang at boarding school far from home, but fourteen-year-old Padma finds his way back home to the grueling work and the family he loves.
