In the Wes Anderson’s new film director three brothers, who haven’t spoken to each other since one year, go on journey to India with the purpose to find themselves and the reciprocal relation they had in the past. In spite of the good intentions however, their spiritual search leads to chaos, as result of events linked to non prescribed analgesics, an Indian cough mixture and a chilli spray. They find themselves blocked in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer and a bookbinding machine. At this point a new, non planned journey begins. The film arises from three different interests of the director: trains, India and the vicissitudes, often funny and tragic at the same time, of love and family relationships the director already dealt successfully with in his previous films like Rushmore and The Royal Tenenbaums.
