The story begins with a young woman seeking enlightenment amid the desert winds of India who falls under the influence of a cult, and evolves into a series of confrontations set in barren landscapes. This blend of dark comedy and drama, directed by Jane Campion, brings to the screen the tension between two wills that clash in an isolated cabin far from Sydney. A mind-programming specialist held captive by her family is forced to forget everything she knows in the face of her stubborn victim, as the power struggle between them grows increasingly absurd and exhausting. Amid the drought, the concepts of faith and manipulation intertwine without overwhelming the viewer.
