In a small town under the shadow of the Himalayas stands the 'Everest', a once impressive hotel now home to a curious band of eccentrics, geriatrics and orphans. Into this small and extraordinary community comes Ritu, a young nun entrusted with the task of nursing the Everest's ninety-year-old owner, sometime mountaineer and flower-hunter, Jed. Ritu strikes up a secret, guilty friendship with Brij, bodybuilder and frequent visitor. Then another newcomer, Inge, a young neo-Nazi, upsets the precarious equilibrium of life at the Everest.
