Kama Sûtra, une histoire d'amour (1997)
Dans l'Inde du XVIe siècle. Maya et Tara ont grandi côte à côte. Dès l'enfance, la première a été au service de son amie, petite princesse promise à un grand destin. Pourtant, Tara a toujours été jalouse de la roturière, plus douée qu'elle, notamment pour la danse, et n'a jamais manqué une occasion d'humilier Maya. Quand un mariage est organisé entre Raj Singh et la princesse, Maya se glisse subrepticement dans la chambre nuptiale, se vengeant ainsi des multiples vexations qu'elle a subies. Chassée du palais, la jeune servante rencontre Jai Kumar, un sculpteur dont elle devient la muse, et suit l'enseignement de Rasa Devi, qui lui enseigne l'art du Kama Sûtra...
