Set in a remote Himalayan town during the Kargil War, Secret of a Mountain Serpent tells the intimate story of Barkha, a schoolteacher whose husband is away at the border. Most men are gone and Barkha finds herself drawn to Manik Guho, a mysterious outsider who disrupts the fragile status-quo. As his presence reawakens long-buried yearnings in Barkha and the other women of the village, a whispered local folklore comes alive: a serpent that lives in the forbidden river, still waiting after a thousand years for the promise of love unkept. A poetic exploration of desire, where myth and memory blur, inviting us into a deeply sensual, haunting journey through love, longing, and transformation.
