Amrita
The Water Buddha Drinks opens with the death of a celebrated actress in mysterious and shocking circumstances. She leaves behind an unconventional, extended family that includes a younger sister, a woman in her 20s through whose eyes the story unfolds; a kid brother who possesses mystical powers; and a fiancee who is writing a novel with uncanny parallels to the story she is living. These three embark on a journey that takes them through grief and suffering, memories lost and regained, forbidden romance, and redemption and recovery in a final confrontation with the spirits of the dead on a remote island in the Pacific, once the site of a fatal clash between Japanese and American forces.
