In 2007, the film was one of five nominated for "Best Documentary" in the Swiss Film Prize, though the prize was taken by Das kurze Leben des José Antonio Gutierrez.[1]
The film focuses on the aftermath of the hippie migration to Asia, specifically documenting the lives of six hippies who chose to remain in India: Cesare from Italy, Erica and Gillian from South Africa, Hanspeter from Switzerland, Meera from Belgium and Robert from the Netherlands.[2] No longer in their 20s, they are leading the lives of a traditional yogi and a female meditator in retreat, a painter with a local wife and children, designers of beach clothing in Goa, and a farmer who hunts and cares for his cows in the Himalayas.
