This time, he gets a job to carry a huge red refrigerator from the top of the mountain, to the nearest town. We follow Hari Rai on his journey through the fascinating Himalayan landscapes, we discover Hariâ??s inner life, his thoughts, hopes and dreams and we also get to know the culture and the local peopleâ??s way of life in this region. We learn about their relation with the most important aspects of their lives: family, nature and religion.
