[Introduction]
A young man leaves home escaping from his parents and set out on a journey with a film projector and unusual friends. This is a story of a maturing young man, filled with lyricism, humor and breathtakingly beautiful images.

[Synopsis]
Young Vishnu, itching to escape his father's faltering hair oil business, offers to drive the antique Chevy across the Indian desert to a local museum by the sea. He picks up a young runaway, a wandering old entertainer and a striking gypsy woman on the way and roams the barren land searching for water and an elusive fair. But they are waylaid by notorious water-lord and key to their freedom is the eccentric collection of films and the two forty-year-old film projectors in the back of the truck. As in 1001 Nights, if the films are good, they live and move on. If the films are boring, they face death in the outback.
