In the mountains of Lesotho, an 80-year-old widow named Mantoa eagerly awaits her sonâ‚‚s return from working in the South African mines, only to learn of his demise instead. Yearning for her death after the loss of her last remaining family member, she puts her affairs in order and makes arrangements to be buried in the local cemetery.

Mantoa resolves herself to defend the spiritual heritage of the community.
