Synopsis <Shiva, Throw Your Life>


Byeongtae is the second son of the Andong family and a documentary producer. He is handsome, serious, and calm. Byeongtae has never been to India, but he has great fantasies about the country. To film a documentary of a journey to India, he travels to India with cameraman Director Choi. Director Choi has been to India once, and based on that single trip, he bluffs to Byeongtae that he is an expert on the country. He is a cute, clumsy cameraman you just can’t hate.
As soon as they begin the shoot in India, they fire their Indian coordinator for being lazy and insincere. From that point on, despite their will to capture the true colors of India on camera, their difficult journey unravels. Byeongtae and Director Choi are deceived in many ways and face a variety of dangers, including Director Choi nearly going bankrupt when he is drugged and kidnapped by an Indian family.
That’s when Byeogtae and Director Choi meet and receive help from a beautiful Indian woman, Mira, who works for an NGO. Mira was born into the untouchable class, but graduated from college thanks to a Korean sponsor. She is a skilled Bollywood dancer and is gracious and fair. Over the course of their journey, Byeongtae and Director Choi are joined by Hannah, a college student who ran away from Korea to India, and Sunyeong, an elderly woman who's escaped from her boring life with a rice cooker. Hannah, a free spirit who loves to have fun, begins to develop feelings for the unsociable Byeongtae.
Then one day, Hannah, while drinking with her Indian friends, is almost raped by several Indian boys. Byeongtae fortunately rescues Hannah from the crisis. Byeongtae and the rest are caught up in an unexpected situation and end up at a police station, but then are saved by Mira and a guru, Mira’s spiritual mentor. As they travel with Mira and the guru, they are enlightened about India and life, and they all begin to see changes within themselves...
