The story begins from a small village located at Tibet border- so remote that hardly visited by any transports. Residents are a small group of villagers who speak Nepali. A woman named Kamala seems worried for her husband who went to Sikkim for work, and did not come back since. Villagers seem to be pretty much indifferent as if such disappearance of men in their village is a common incident. Determined she embarks on a journey to find her husband. Her baggage includes a small daughter and her pet goat. A very little she knows in the beginning about what is waiting for her next, and that it might turn her life upside down.
Movies directed by women often reveals fresh perspectives which are mostly overlooked in male dominated industry. Liar's Dice is a case in point. The kind of emotional dilemmas, psychological struggle Kamala exhibited throughout her journey from Sikkim to Delhi are quite unique. At times she appears to be vulnerable, helpful and compromising, and in very next minute, she becomes the strongest, arrogant and vengeful protecting her child and herself. As if her innate instinct guides her in terms of how much risks to take, how to deal with complete strangers, how to make friends when needed and above all, how she can attain her goal.
Geetanjali Thapa won National Film Award for best actress for her role- Kamala. And, this film was nominated for Oscar screening from India in foreign movie category.
