Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Rajeev Revisited is a documentary about Birta’s journey to India to attend a weeding of her childhood friend, Rajeev. 8 years have passed since their last meeting, when Birta tracked Rajeev down in India, and found him in poor circumstances. Since then, apparently lots of things have changed in their lives. With Rajeev´s “arranged wedding” as a story line the film reflects the great cultural difference the two friends live under today. Without a doubt, the Icelandic girl Birta sticks out among Hindus and elephants in this colorful wedding in south India. A sincere film about friendship that crosses the cultural difference between two continents.
