The cast and crew of My Love (Promise for Kathmandu), which is based on the earthquakes of 2015, is currently on a nationwide promotional tour. The team will travel to four cities around the country—Pokhara, Butwal, Chitwan, and Hetaunda—as part of the promo. 

Directed by Japanese filmmaker Toshiaki Itoh, My Love (Promise for Kathmandu) documents the tragedies wrought by the 2015 quakes and the relief work carried out by security, aid agencies, and supporting countries in the aftermath of the disaster, producers said. “The movie will also touch upon the importance of the heritage sites destroyed by the earthquake and their reconstruction and conservation,” producer Ganesh Lama said.

The film was shot in various places around the Valley such as Patan, Khokana, Bungmati, Pashupati and Bhaktapur, and also partially in Japan, and will in part follow a Japanese rescue team who travelled to Nepal after the quakes.

My Love (Promise for Kathmandu) will feature actors Ganesh Lama, Sheetal Shrestha, Yuichi Hayata, Ribbon Mizutani, Shutaro Matsuda, and Kazutoshi Tasaka, among others.

My Love (Promise for Kathmandu) is director Itoh’s (who holds a doctorate in the history of Nepali films) second Nepali feature directorial, having had directed Shirish ko Phool, based on the eponymous novel by Parijaat, prior to this.

The film will release on December 15.
