Synopsis:
"Chaukaith (Threshold)" is about an encounter between two young women. A Madhesi housewife, Sarswati Gupta, has forgotten her own real name and doesn’t count herself as a family member. A working woman, Trisna Thapa, is a divorced single mother. As a census officer Trisna goes to the Tarai (low-land). Sarswati’s household is the last one she needs to document at the end of a long day. And this is where the film begins. All the acting is improvised, with no scripted dialogue. "Chaukaith" portraits contemporary features of Nepalese society and it also raises questions about barriers among different people and societies, but in a more intimate and domestic context - in which a woman searches for her identity, a life outside her own threshold.
