Ruth Barron (Kate Winslet) is traveling through India and looking at the sights. Circumstance has it that she encounters a guru with the ability to change her life. She decides to stay in India with her new life. Her girlfriend traveling with her is appalled and rushes home to tell Ruth's parents what it happened.
The mother is convinced that her daughter has been brainwashed. So she lures her daughter back with a false statement that the father is dying. When Ruth gets home, she finds that they have hired a deprogrammer P. J. Waters (Harvey Keitel) to correct the situation.
Things do not quite go as planned and we go along for the ride.
This little ditty, written by Anna Campion and Jane Campion, is more like a story written by Steve Barry. It starts out very logical and very serious; slowly but surely it becomes more farcical until it reaches a hilarious off the chart situation.
Yes, I know that this is a formula, yet it is fun to watch it play out.
