Every spring in remote Nepal, tens of thousands of villagers abandon their homes for a dangerous trek into the Himalayas to gather Yarsagumba, a caterpillar fungus prized in China as a medicinal cure and sold for up to $60,000 per kilo. The film follows Suga Lal, a subsistence farmer whose fields barely feed his family, as he climbs the mountains with his wife and two sons to join the pickers competing for the harvest. It also tracks Dhanchandra, a buyer for a Kathmandu dealer, who carries cash from camp to camp knowing he could be robbed at any moment, and shows soldiers escorting the harvest down to the capital before it ships on to Hong Kong pharmacies. The camera moves between snow-capped high camps, roadside trading posts, and the penthouses of wealthy Chinese buyers, laying the poorest end of the supply chain against the richest. Real footage of the harvest, the negotiations, and the mountain trek carries the film, with the price gap between picker and buyer as its throughline.
