Synopsis
Nepal immigrants leave for the Gulf in order to earn some riyals (Iranian currency). With a quarter of the family members gone to work as cheap laborers, Nepal seems to have pretty much lost its self-sufficiency. Most of the families are supported by money sent by a young son or husband from abroad to a society without any other means of income. It is difficult to discern where this problem begins and ends.
