The Ashram

Running time: 90 mins

What you choose to see just might set you free. Academy Award-winner Melissa Leo (The Fighter) and Sam Keeley star in the story of an American skeptic following the trail of his lost girlfriend to a mystical Himalayan community. What will Jamie choose to see among the magnificent sacred rivers and mystical caves sitting atop treacherous mountains – renewal or destruction? He will have to decide precisely that. His girlfriend Sophie has disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and the tumor in his head is about to burst. His quest to find Sophie leads him to an ashram where an evocative cast of characters, including Kal Penn (Harold & Kumar) and Hera Hilmar (The Ottoman Lieutenant), awaits. He has reason to suspect everyone but needs to trust each to help him. Will their universal consciousness bind them in nurturing relationships, or will the evil, lurking beneath the calm, destroy them all? – Pratibha Kelapure
