  1. This documentary is about the surroundings of Pashupati Temple beside Bagmati River in the heart of Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. Hundreds of children are "living" there. They believe on God. The Hindu people are brought there when they are died and in some cases when they are likely to die.
    Most of the people living there they live on the offerings to the dead people. There is pain everywhere scattered bitterly in almost everyone's life living around Pashupati Temple. People have got so used to it that sometimes they don't know what they are going through.
