Sgrolmamtsho is a peasant woman of 35 who lives in an impoverished agricultural community in the Tibetan province of Amdo. When she got married in 1993, she was only 21 and had no experience of work. Through following her daily life, the film aims to show what traditional working life is like for peasant Tibetan women. It shows them fetching water, feeding livestock, milking, cleaning the stables, cooking, household religious activity, weeding fields, transporting manure to the fields and fetching wood for fuel. The images are supported by a commentary by Sgrolmamtsho about her life and her family.
