Movie Haiku:British Seniors meet-up on their way to Jaipur. Most have financial issues & need to make their Pounds spread, but still expect more than hotelier "Sonny Kapoor" (Patel) can actually deliver. What to do? Give up? Go home? But where is home? Lovely little metaphorical film from Participant Productions urges us to open our eyes, be flexible, & just keep on keeping on.
