The film takes its viewers into the sacred groves of the Himalayas that are still alive because of the faith of its people. It traces the struggles of the Himalayan people to save their forests from being plundered, but as they crumble under the pressure of countless development projects. The film raises a critical question - can the modern world restore the faith that conserved nature, before it gets too late?
