Jag Mandir is a quiet and often overlooked film in the vast oeuvre of Werner Herzog. Apparently, 20 hours of footage was shot that covered the whole fest and the film hardly presents us a twentieth of that. A native walking into the film in between may well fail to immediately realize that it is his country that is being shown and these are figures from the mythology of various sections of his nation.
Anne está investigando a vida de sua tia avó Olívia, cujo destino sempre foi envolto em escândalo. A busca remonta ao início da década de 1920, quando Olívia, recém-casada com Douglas, funcionário público da administração colonial, vai morar com ele na Índia. Lentamente, Olivia fica fascinada pela Índia e pelo governante local, um Nawab que combina a distinção britânica com a pompa e crueldade da Índia. Esse fascínio não é isento de riscos: a região está sendo saqueada por um grupo de bandidos sanguinários, e as intrigas se opõem à comunidade britânica preconceituosa liderada pelo Major Minnies e pelo Dr. Saunders contra o Nawab. Como Anne investiga a história de sua tia-avó, ela é levada a reconsiderar sua própria vida. (e 14 - Estimado 14 Anos)
