High in the Himalayas, every harvest depends on a single glacier-fed spring. When a massive rockslide buries its source, the entire village comes together to search for the missing water.

From elders to children, everyone takes part in the effort to restore the ancient irrigation channels. In this remote mountain community, survival depends not on machines, but on cooperation, tradition and an intimate knowledge of the land.
