 Set in a Nepali village, Nabarsiyeko Jhari (A Silent Monsoon) reveals Durga s (Nisha Sharma Pokharel) struggle to save her twelve-year-old daughter Laxmi (Anisha Thapaliya) from their profession of prostitution. Since her sister Parvati (Sarita Giri) is the only breadwinner, Durga s mother (Subhadra Adhikari) decides to initiate Laxmi to save their hut from being taken by a moneylender. Durga, however, wants Laxmi to get an education and become a teacher. She wants to send Laxmi away with the brother of a schoolteacher, Aasha (Aruna Karki). Her brother Anil (Bhupen Chand) and his boss, Ram (Suresh Chand) are looking for a maid for Ram s pregnant wife. However, Aasha fears of severe consequences if the villagers find out that she helped the prostitutes. Durga promises to keep it a secret. As night falls and the monsoon clouds gather, will Durga be able to fight the society and her fate, and set Laxmi free?
