CGiii Comment
A film that has no idea what it is...or, where it's supposed to go.
The comedy is forced, shabby and unfunny.
The gay couple - incidental and irrelevant.
Ms Campion: know thy limits.

While on a journey of discovery in exotic India, beautiful young Ruth Barron falls under the influence of a charismatic religious guru. Her desperate parents then hire P.J. Waters, a macho cult de-programmer who confronts Ruth in a remote desert hideaway. But P.J. quickly learns that he's met his match in the sexy, intelligent, and iron-willed Ruth.
