Synopses & Reviews
After a decade in a suburban American world of shopping malls and fast-food restaurants, sisters Renu and Manx return to their childhood home, the island of Pi. "A chunk of India that is not quite India torn free to float in the Bay of Bengal", Pi is an alien and yet strangely familiar landscape where gardens and hillsides blaze with surreal foliage, and ceiling fans circle endlessly in the background. The sisters and their mother have returned because cousin Rajesh, affectionately known as Renu's twin, has died. His death and their return mark the beginning of a curious journey, leading to unexpected routes toward revelation.
