Set in India, 'Siddhartha' is the story of a young Brahmin's search for ultimate reality after meeting with the Buddha. His quest takes him from a life of decadence to asceticism, from the joys of sensual love with a beautiful courtesan, and of wealth and fame, to the struggles with his son and the ultimate wisdom of renunciation.
