Set against the backdrop of the new culture of bandhs that frequently immobilize post-conflict Nepal, HIGHWAY explores five different relationship stories that become intertwined during an ill-fated bus journey from eastern Nepal to the capital, Kathmandu. While the passengers - each of whom urgently needs to be somewhere else - await a resolution to the combustible strike that is blocking the only passable road, the film explores the psychological and spiritual bandhs that many Nepalis are contending with.
Set among the breathtaking landscapes of Eastern Nepal, “HIGHWAY”, the first full-length feature of director/ producer Deepak Rauniyar, follows the journey of nine characters whose individual stories become accidentally interconnected during an ill-fated bus journey they take to the capital Kathmandu. The passengers – each of whom urgently needs to be somewhere else – find themselves stranded on the only main road due to an improvised and unlawful blockade known as a “bandh”. While the journey is thwarted numerous times awaiting a resolution to the combustible strike, the film’s story shifts into the characters’ psychological and spiritual “bandhs” that many Nepalis are contending with since the end of the bloody 12-year civil conflict.
