In Hippie Masala, also titled Forever in India, anthropologist Damaris Lüthi[1] teams with a Swiss filmmaker to profile six hippies who remained in India. These quirky individuals, no longer in their 20s, include a yogi from Italy, a solitary woman meditator from Belgium, a painter from Holland with an Indian wife and children, a Swiss hunter and farmer with cows, a construction project, and an Indian wife, and twins from South Africa who sew beach clothing in Goa.
