Synopsis

"A Guru Comes" is a satirical film about the growth of new religious movements in the 1970s and 1980s. An unsuccessful opera singer unexpectedly becomes the leader of a burgeoning spiritual community. Using humor and subtle insight, the film examines the inner workings of these groups and the complicated connection between faith, power, and personal ambition. As the main character struggles with his new position, he faces challenges that make him question his own beliefs and his ability to guide people seeking spiritual direction. Combining comedy and drama, "A Guru Comes" offers a unique perspective on spirituality and how it can be influenced by the desire for control and fame. The film is a thoughtful look at a significant historical period that remains relevant today.
