Kathmandu Lullaby (Katmandú: un espejo en el cielo) 12 years old

A teacher, her pupils and life's greatest lesson of all

Kathmandu Lullaby

Kathmandu, Nepal, early 1990s. Laia, a young teacher from Catalonia, Spain, works at a local school in the slums of the city where poverty reigns. Her personal path, besieged by a harsh sum of indescribable social conditions, will be a struggle against a nefarious educational system, but a journey of self-discovery as well.
