Synopsis
This is a dark and comic account of the disintegration of a marriage... Balu and Janaki Shankar are a typical, traditional, South Indian couple in their late fifties who have been married for thirty-three years in reasonable harmony. On their first ever trip to Britain their son is too busy to show them around and so books his parents on a sixteen-day coach tour of Europe. A two-night stop in Amsterdam leaves Balu struggling with an appetite for newly discovered sexual possibilities - with his wife, Janaki. And as the coach hurtles around Europe, the Shankars' marriage disintegrates...
