Martin Huber

A Carthusian monk, Fried Adelphi, dedicated to silence and meditation for the last 25 years, tells his story (to a priest, Michael Moriarty, in a minor role). His order sends him to Indonesia to request the extension of their cloister's lease. En route to Jakarta, he experiences claustrophobia and de-planes in New Delhi, India. Without contacts or any worldly knowledge, he, fortunately, is reunited with his fellow passenger, Ashaela, the wallet thief. (imdb)
