Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Oddball characters, weird mishaps, fates intertwining: the search for the meaning of life goes on. A college student falls for her philosophy lecturer; a disabled man seeks recovery; a popstar meets a spiritual guru; and the arrival of a mysterious luminescent man, perhaps real or perhaps not.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
