Beads on One String : A road movie about the spiritual path. In an unusual take on the road movie, Beads on One String takes the viewer on an extraordinary journey across India investigating mysticism, religion, and spirituality through the eyes of 50 pilgrims between the ages of 19 and 90. They travel to the monuments of Ellora and Ajanta associated with Buddha; the shrine of Kwaja Moinuddin Chisti, a Sufi Qutub; Kailash Temple, sacred to Hinduism; and Dilwara, a magnificent Jain temple in Rajasthan, to name just a few. In everything from arguments about lost luggage and lack of sleep, to the religious ritual and ceremony they encounter, these pilgrims discover the chaotic nature of the spiritual path, challenging their own faith in unexpected ways.—Anonymous
