Movie Description
A densely atmospheric meditation on the art of sexual and emotional pleasure, told from the perspectives of members of a royal court in 16th-century India. A courtesan trained to please others revolts against her life of servitude when she is denied her true love, while a princess torn between two worthy suitors opts for the love of both.
Synopsis
Set in 16th century India, this film chronicles the sexual adventures of Maya, a beautiful, voluptuous servant girl. After seducing the king the night before his wedding, Maya is labeled a whore and expelled from the village. After a hot affair with a sculptor, Maya decides to become an "artist" herself by studying the lovemaking techniques set forth in the Kama Sutra. After her training ends, she sets her sights on becoming the chief prostitute of the king, a move that will affect the lives of many -- and possibly destroy the monarchy...
