The trip was initiated by Francis, the eldest brother. After a serious motorcycle accident he is determined to restore the contact with his brothers. To do this, they need to make a spiritual journey. Francis ' accompanying Assistant Brendan (Wallace Wolodarsky) makes a detailed daily itinerary on a laminated card. This is when which brother should take a shower, but also which spiritual places and temples to visit.

The Middle brother Peter has its 7.5 months pregnant wife Alice (Camilla Rutherford) left in America, without telling her where he was going. He tells his youngest brother Jack about the pregnancy, but asks him to tell, nothing to Francis what he does anyway. Jack is a writer who has a difficult relationship for a year and on the run from his ex-girlfriend. On board the train he finds a surrogate in the form of Rita (Amara Karan), an Indian flight attendant. Jack is not going to complete the journey together and would sneak off to go when he feels strongly there. This he says to Peter, that this is not against Francis would say, but do so. It picks up passport, so that he not Francis Jacks off can go.

The brothers misbehave behave properly on board the train. They allow a poisonous snake escape and Jack modified his feuding brothers with tear gas. The steward of the train (Waris Ahluwalia) threatens to put them out of the train. Between the brothers creates a dynamics of bickering, silent (and less silent) blame and exclusion. As the train gets lost, do they at the initiative of Francis a ritual on a mountain top. Francis tells them why he really has to let there come India. He has tracked down their mother disappeared in a monastery in the foothills of theHimalayas, where she will meet her in a few days.

Back in the train comes to an eruption as appeals to Francis Peter on the use of their father's stuff. After a fight in which a window breaks, put the steward they actually train from. So they end up with way too much baggage (the coffers of their deceased father) in the desert. To make matters worse, they receive a letter from their mother stating that they do not want to receive them now and that they have to come back in the spring but.

After an overnight call in which she wonders if they could be friends instead of the three brothers, they decide no longer to return and that their roads finally must separate. On the way to an airfield they come along a channel where three little boys try with a raft to cross the water. The raft turns, on which Francis, Peter and Jack jump into the water to save the boys. Francis and Jack succeed, but Peter is with the little boy that he tries to save carried away. The little boy survives this not because he saves against a rock. In the village of the three little boys they live at the funeral of the deceased boy, leading to a flashback to the funeral of father Whitman. Their mother was not present. It is also clear that father Francis-Whitman's first book is dedicated to him-that has never read.

The brothers decide to go to their mother, who receives them in the monastery. Mother (Anjelica Huston) finds that Peter at his pregnant wife he should be, that they should have been at the funeral of her husband.Francis reveals that his "motorcycle accident ' was actually a suicide attempt, possibly with the goal that mother will feel guilty. It is clear that Francis are dominant, bossy touches of his mother has taken over.

As the brothers have slept a night in the monastery, it turns out mother at their awakening left. Francis earlier words come out again: ''she's been disappearing all our lives. We weren't raised to be treated like that. It's just not done.'' After a ritual at the monastery, performed for the first time by everyone without reluctance, they travel by train back again. Some of the luggage they should drop during a sprint to get the already making train speed. The decorated bags disappear slowly out of the picture, as metaphor for the emotional baggage that the brothers rushed the whole trip with itself. ==Hotel Chevalier[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Hotel Chevalier is a short film from 2007, likewise written and directed by Director Anderson.
