Middle-aged Ramchandra is far from a guru of love, or much of anything except for mathematics, which he teaches at a grubby Kathmandu school and to private students desperate to pass college-entrance exams. It's through these extra tutoring sessions that Ramchandra hopes to scrounge together enough rupees to move his family?his patient wife, Goma, and their two children?from their cramped apartment into a house of their own. This, Ramchandra repeats to himself, will prove his worth to his disdainful but wealthy in-laws...
