An Indian con man is hired to find a fakir who can bury himself in sand for an installation art project in Venice. He passes off a poor slum dweller from Bombay as the real thing, conning the European art world successfully. It is the story of a strange relationship between two characters who are brought together to carry out a deception. To pull it off, however, they must learn understanding themselves, and each other.
