Synopsis: | All Georgie wants is to get home to his wife and daughters, but his mysterious captors won't let him. As he undergoes a series of executions and re-births, he matches wits with Rudkip, the opium-infused ghost of a Nobel Prize winning author, and Mama T, a robotic replicant of the patron saint of the slums of Calcutta. The Bahgavad Gita is conflated with the history of American Imperialism in this rollicking, futuristic satire set near the outskirts of Kurdu's Field Studios, someplace near Bollywood. | |||||
