From acclaimed director Jane (“The Piano”) Campion comes the story of a young Australian beauty named Ruth (Kate Winslet) who travels to India in search of the exotic through some “guru.”
When her family forces her home, they form an intervention with an American “exit expert” (Harvey Keitel) who will cleanse her of the brainwashed rituals and lure her back to sanity in “just three days.” The young explorer and spiritual pro find themselves in the middle of nowhere, in a place where rules don’t apply and anything can happen. Ruth soon turns the tables on her cult buster, which leads to an all-out test battle of the sexes that provides great character energy, chaos and a very naked Kate Winslet!
Campion continues to find her niche in stubborn women love stories. Winslet shows that there is life after “Titanic” as a sultry, hot, explosive, young and feisty-opinionated female lead.
