SYNOPSIS
Five backpackers travel through the vast, exotic amusement park that is Asia to escape everyday life in Europe: Josh and Adam get caught up in the ecstasy of global beach parties. Svenja is stuck in a hotel room in Bangkok, phoning after her missed return flight. Meanwhile, Liam staggers through India with an expanded consciousness to distract himself from his problems at home, while Marion finds a way to fail herself in meditation. At the end of the trip, a new beginning awaits some of the backpackers - and a connecting flight for the others.
