High in the Himalayas there are men who are over 130 years old. They live in caves, hidden in the snows. They are called ”sadhus”, carriers of a spiritual tradition that goes back thousands of years. The Masters have developed supernatural powers like telepathy and levitation. But they are extremely hard to find. Stuck in a traffic jam in Los Angeles, a businessman, the Foreigner, decides that there must be more to life than his routine job. What lessons will he pass on to his newborn son if he cannot find meaning in his own life? He sets off for India to find the Masters and to learn what they have to teach. In a village in the south of India, a young boy experiences a spiritual awakening which inspires him to follow the sadhu path. In time he becomes Kalu Baba, the leader of a great temple in the Himalayas. But everything changes the day the Foreigner arrives. Seeing in him a perfect disciple, the holy man agrees to guide the Foreigner on a journey into the bizarre and secretive world of the sadhu Masters. The two seekers encounter hermits, forest dwellers and silent prophets, and from each they receive new insights. But nothing prepares them for the final teaching of the Masters… * Told in an innovative style that uses documentary footage to follow a scripted narrative, TWILIGHT MEN draws us into its mythical Himalayan world, challenging our perceptions of truth, reality and illusion.
