On her birthday, Jeanne, an actress, learns from her mother that her father is Indian, a Hindu she met on her travels. An "Untouchable," her mother says. Intending to find her father, Jeanne sets out on her own for the vastness of India with little more than a name as a clue. In the hope that she will find what she is looking for, she immerses herself into the jumble and life of a continent that is totally foreign to her. Eventually, she befriends a young man who acts as a guide, assisting her and introducing her to the mysteries of India. As Jeanne comes nearer to her goal, we wonder what she will find at the end of her quest: her father or something more elusive, more enriching. |
