The ending of that Nepali song that's a movie about a young couple in love who get married

 He gets tired of all the politics and bullshit of city life, and the corruption he has to deal with. Also his son gets ill and as well-off as they maybe, they can't afford to go to Bangkok three times a year for treatment. They seek a way out, discover the UK has free healthcare, sell their house, expand the business abroad, open up a branch in the UK, move there, keep exporting yak cheese for a few years. Then liquidate the business, open up a couple of restaurants in there and everything's happily ever after. The son and the wife help out.

She gets tired of all the BS she has to deal with the in-laws and the petty dealings with upper middle class women. Also she feels lonely as there's so few women friends to hang with, and spending all the time with you family is just not sustainable. She makes a tonne of new friends in the UK, other restauranters and entrepreneurs, Nepali and foreign, and has a solid community of her own going. She joins yoga classes and dance classes, and starts community empowerment non-profit to support immigrant and refugee women.

The laurey guy and his wife, who is the woman's friend, move to the US after getting Greencard, because obviously working at a cheese factory is not a sustainable way to support any kind of lifestyle in Nepal. They too start working at different restaurants, eventually have enough savings to start their own place, and then live in a farm outside the city, small orchards, a couple of dozen thousand bucks from the sales of jams and fruits and as such for which they don't pay any taxes. They give birth to three children and don't worry about healthcare costs because they live in a nice progressive state. And education is heavily subsidized too. Their parents come to help with the kids, so childcare costs are minimal, and very soon their children start helping out with the restaurant too.

Soon they open their second and third restaurant, as the area is under-served in South Asian cuisine. They follow the same template, and start considering unifying the restaurant experience, to form sort of chain of Nepali restaurants. They communicate with their former bosses/friends in the UK, and they form a umbrella organization to help other Nepalis start South Asian / Nepali cuisine restaurants easily, a consultancy of sorts. It goes really well until the recession.
