Dreaming of escape from his remote village in the Himalayan
foothills, Rabindra entreats the gods to send him an English bride.
When a saucy English dance troupe arrives on the run from a Bombay
crime boss, Rabindra believes that his prayers have been answered.
Except that they have no interest in marrying anyone. As the
village begins to unravel in the presence of these scandalous
foreigners, surprising secrets emerge from the depths of its past.
A story of true love, coincidence, causality and sacrifice. In some
ways it is a love-poem to a glorious, intriguing and sometimes
frustrating culture still alive in the far corners of a great
continent, but slowly fading to the onslaught of the technological
age.
