Description
Lakshmi's life in Nepal is marked by simplicity and hardship. When her family's crops are destroyed by the monsoons, she is forced to leave home and seek work to support them. In India, Lakshmi arrives at "Happiness House", a place where she hopes to find employment. However, she soon discovers that she has been sold into prostitution, and must navigate a world of cruelty and exploitation. Despite the unimaginable circumstances, Lakshmi finds ways to survive and even form connections with the other girls in the brothel. Her story is one of resilience and determination, as she struggles to reclaim her life and find a way out of her desperate situation.
