Synopsis

The Mystic Masseur charts the rise of Ganesh Ramsumair from small-time holy man to colonial politician G Ramsay Muir MBE. Based on VS Naipaul’s classic first novel of the same name, this adaption was written for the screen by novelist Caryl Phillips, and filmed on location in Trinidad and Tobago. This is the story of an ordinary man with a seemingly extraordinary gift, who through circumstances that are quite humorous, becomes a healer and one of his country's most respected leaders.
