The Mystic Masseur

In the vibrant 1950s of Trinidad, a writer's stagnant creative well is revitalized by the discovery of massage therapy, sparking a transformative journey of self-discovery, professional triumph, and profound impact on the local political landscape.

In 1940s Trinidad, a British colony, Ganesh Ramseyor, an East Indian man, longs to promote Hinduism and become a renowned writer. He achieves success, curing people of unusual beliefs and convincing a woman to end her fast. His fame spreads, and thousands seek his blessings, which he provides freely. He then challenges a local politician and takes over The Hindu Organization, paving the way to a seat in the legislative assembly. With great power comes the realization that he needs the support of ordinary people to achieve his goals.
