That way, one could finally reach his goal in life, awaken from the illusion, realize the "truth", and become enlightened. 20 years (and a lot of therapy) later, the director sets on a journey to understand the secret he was forced to keep about India throughout his entire life, the effect it has on him even now, to find out what happened to the other Ashram children and finally understand: had he been raised in a cult?
