In the scenic village Merangdi, in Nepal, six-year-old Ramu and four-year-old Tara, growing up together, discover life by relating deeply to nature, to the animals and to the human environment.
Nothing escapes their innocent, observant eyes. Together they learn to protect their beloved trees and birds, they make an effort to cope with the death of a kind uncle, they want to go to school, to understand town life, to fly kites and try to overcome disease and suffering by caring for each other. The surprising originality of their actions and thoughts reveal the secret wisdom of children. Their zest for life creates a deep bond between Ramu and Tara and leaves us with the meaning of remaining true and sincere – Together we are strong!
