Listen to the Wind is a short fiction film about Dawa, a Sherpa boy in the high mountains of Nepal, who is different. An old nomad with deteriorating eyesight who wishes to see the rare Kalma Metok flower before he dies is Dawa's best friend. In the face of mounting obstacles at his new school - bullying classmates, diminishing chances of securing a much-needed scholarship and the threat of expulsion from school - can Dawa realize his old friend's advice to Listen to the Wind, and to find his own answer?
