"Based on the RST/CICT stage production adapted by Jean-Claude Carrière. An intimate film journey to the very heart of Indian mythology, religion, history and thought ... [The film brings] to life the conflict between the Pandavas and the Kauravas, the feuding families at the center of the saga ...
