The Mystic Masseur

Set amidst the large and prosperous Indian community in mid-20th century Trinidad, THE MYSTIC MASSEUR is a magical, bittersweet fable about Ganesh (Aasif Mandvi), a young, aspiring author whose unexpected talents as a healer bring him local fame and enable him to realize his ambitions as a writer.

But he also realizes his limitations when his reputation as the legendary "mystic masseur" propels him to national renown and draws him far from his roots and his true self. Featuring a touching and comical performance by the great Om Puri, the story of THE MYSTIC MASSEUR allows us a rare insight into the warmth and humor of these charcters' lives as the Indian community in Trinidad began to grow and prosper.
