An old man and his son attend a lecture on reincarnation by an Indian swami, where they meet a clergyman who is a staunch believer, fond of reminiscing about his past life as a dog. Over the course of their discussions, it seems the cleric may be the next incarnation of the elderly gentleman's beloved childhood pet. Comedy drama, starring Sam Neill, Peter O'Toole and Jeremy Northam.

Set in Edwardian England where upper lips are always stiff and men from the Colonies are not entirely to be trusted, Fisk Senior has little time or affection for his son, but when the pair visit an eccentric Indian, they start a strange journey that eventually allows the old man to find his heart.
