Two stories intertwine over time. In the present, Felix, who<br />
teaches Geography in a detention centre, stumbles upon<br />
a book that dazzles him. In the past, Rabindranath Tagore,<br />
Bengali poet and author of the book that has come to Felix,<br />
arrives in Argentina and is hosted by writer Victoria Ocampo. A<br />
deep, platonic bond develops between the two cultural figures<br />
and Victoria becomes Tagore’s distant muse. While Felix is<br />
increasingly obsessed with the story of the Indian poet and<br />
the Argentinian writer, he gains an insight into the intellectual<br />
and spiritual notions on which Tagore’s revolutionary school in<br />
India was founded. Felix decides to visit India and experience<br />
for himself the teaching methods that Tagore dreamed of for<br />
all mankind.<br />
