Synopsis

The Mystic Masseur, a joyful drama of optimism, self-belief and wondrous imagination, that can work miracles.

Based on the first novel of Nobel winning V S Naipaul,The Mystic Masseur , is the first ever film adaptation of any of Naipaul's work.

The Mystic Masseur tells the story of 'Ganesh', a struggling author, who finds his fortune when he discovers he has an ability to cure people's minds. It is rare to see a rags-to-riches story in which we are so intimately involved with the characters, so sympathetic to them, and led so easily to understand that riches may not always be a good trade for the happiness of youthful ambition.

But too late or otherwise, love at first sight is exactly what happens. How can Neil and Stevie get out of their mistaken marriages and into each other's arms? Simple really - while Neil contemplates suicide under the Angel of the North, his wife is run over on her way to buy a pint of milk.

Andrea proves harder to shift, but eventually, via the arms of a twenty year old beautician, tells the truth (in perfect English, too) about what he really thinks of women.

Is perfect harmony in sight, in this comedy set in Newcastle?
