While the filmmaker was circumambulating Mount Kawakarpo (also known as Meili Snow Mountain), she spotted some people in the distance squatting on the ground staring down at something with curiosity. She borrowed a fellow traveler's camera and ran up to them to see what they were doing. Some frogs had gotten stranded in a deep hole dug for an electric pole. The people were figuring out a way to rescue them…Placed in a wider context, this short, spur-of-the-moment film offers a close and endearing look into the contemporary religious beliefs of ordinary Tibetans.
