    A lovely film. Highly recommended.

    A really well made, delightful, eye-opening and touching film. I loved the journey that Belmaya went on and the soundtrack is also a belter. I'll be keeping my Brady eyes open for the filmmakers next project. A must watch.

    Inspirational must see!

    Beautiful piece of film making with an important message regarding the need to educate young girls in Nepal and by extension other developing countries. A meta-film filled with beauty and strength leaving the viewer with hope for Belmaya and her future.

    Fascinating film

    I found this a fascinating and very moving film - I would love to meet Belmaya.

    Probably the most beautiful film ever made in Nepal

    This is such a lovely (true) story about a young Nepali girl who refuses to follow the path in life that is expected of her as a woman. Already at a young age you can tell she's feisty and determined despite having gone through a lot of difficulties already before she ends up in a children's home. It is intersting to follow her ups and downs over many years, as she changes from teenager to a mother. It is beautifully filmed and you really get to see what life is like for a girl in Nepal.

    Sensational movie!

    One of the best films I've ever seen. It was absolutely amazing and so multi-layered. The balance between the emotion, the humour, the entire narration, was perfect. Thank you!
