Holy Smoke! - Auf der Suche nach Erleuchtung (1999)
Ruth fährt mit ihren Freundinnen nach Indien - auf Entdeckungsreise. Aus Spaß besuchen sie den Guru Baba, doch bei Ruth bleibt es nicht Spaß. Sie fühlt sich von Baba erleuchtet...und verbrennt vor den Augen ihrer Freundin das Rückflugticket nach Australien! Als ihre Mutter den Sinneswandel mitbekommt, versucht sie alles in ihrer Macht stehende zu tun, um Ruth aus den Händen der Sekte zu befreien. Sie engagiert schließlich den professionellen Sektenbekämpfer PJ der in drei Tagen 189 Menschen wieder zurück gebracht hat ins "normale Leben". Dies versucht er auch mit Ruth, doch was sich dann in diesen drei Tagen abspielt, wird man nicht so einfach glauben und nachvollziehen können...
