Plot


Jack is approached by the remarkably beautiful and captivating Kamala who wishes to speak to him on behalf of her aunt who, restless and troubled, needs the help of a charming man she met forty years ago who knew that one day, many years later, she would need his help and thus he gave her his card. Now that time has come, so she sends her niece with the aged and faded card to New York to find this man, someone called Jack Flanders.
And so Jack is off on another adventure via New Delhi, Bombay and Bangalore to an old and crumbling painted palace within which a presence dwells. A presence that has a few surprises in store for Mr. Flanders.




Themes


The entire Travels with Jack series employs field recordings and extended dialogue to explore mind-body themes and political topics. Dreams of India, in particular, addresses India's colonial past. Quotes from Bengali poet Rabindranath Tagore function like proverbs throughout.




Quotes


Jack: "Right! Body or no body, let's get out of here."
