1986. Labda, a rain-washed, sun-soaked village near Darjeeling. Six friends—Karnabahadur, Tshering, Ambar, Buddha, Rajvir and Sarita—attend school together here.

Soon, the hot winds of that violent Andolan sweep inexorably into Labda and transform the village into a battleground. Students turn on their teachers, villages and families are divided along party lines, and everyone is forced to take sides. Those who don’t are compelled to run away, never to return.
