Lucio and Luna are imperfect beings, so skinny that they become almost
invisible. Their love is passionate, extreme, violent, like their
bodies destroyed by food deprivation. When Luna decides to take refuge
in Lucio’s house, their love will have to deal with their problem.

Atimaley and Devi’s village is haunted by memories. When a dear friend
leaves the village without saying “goodbye”, the old couple faces a
dilemma; to keep living with the memories or to leave the village for
good? Why create anything when everything ends as dust and grime? Is
it for the sake of remembrance? Is it for the immortality of the
subject or the ‘artist’ itself? Or for the hope that our ‘work of art’
will one day come alive and lift our souls from this mess of life ?
‘Dadyaa’ started out as an exercise to test these very themes around
an old couple in the highlands of Jumla. But once again, life happened
and the wonderful mess around it helped us as directors to draw
parallels between our fictious world and the reality that exists in
remote Nepal.
