  Two men of very different personalities make a quarrelsome journey across the vast subcontinent of India in quest of very separate destinies. Along the way, young Rakesh and Vasant, the former Royal Engineers, experience a host of bizarre and memorable encounters; with the giant wood-constructed god Jagannath carving a swath of destruction, with the Pragmatic Monks who live in a carved-out mountain to perform their miracles of meditation, with demon cranes who reduce life to counting, with six-armed goondas, the destroyer Shiva and the legendary Baboon Warrior.From this cinematic dreamscape filled with animated machines, airships of silk and ancient legends brought to life, Jan Lars Jensen conjures up an amazing and innovative fantasy.
