In Nepal, the metal scene is thriving. From its beginning at the end of the 90s, where only a few bands existed, the scene has spread to around forty active bands. The film meets five of them and actors of that underground movement. A generation of Nepalis who wants to get emancipated from traditions and violences that the country has known the last twenty years..

Aurore Laurent is working in Nepal since 2007 where she co-directed 2 documentaries with Adrien Viel. In 2011, they released Aadesh Baba: So be it and Three Shamans in 2014, a documentary about shamans of Nepal in three different ethnic groups. That same year they released a book of photography and text about shamans of Nepal, with the publishing company Naïve Livres.
