In 1940s colonial Trinidad, an ambitious Indo-Trinidadian man reinvents himself from failed schoolteacher to revered mystic masseur to writer and politician, chasing recognition. Merchant Ivory's gentle adaptation of V. S. Naipaul's novel.
Why it’s here
A British-led adaptation of V. S. Naipaul whose rise-and-fall story remains rooted in colonial Trinidad’s villages, press, religion, and politics.
