A young British girl is traveling with her father into the hills of India for summer. It is a hot, long and dull journey as the palanquin-bearers transport them into the hills to escape the summer heat. Her mother is absent, and to keep her occupied her ayah (Indian nanny) begins to tell her stories. A world comes alive within the confines of the palanquin. She never forgets her ayah or her stories.
A storytelling piece that is a journey across the world of the coloniser and the colonised to find intimacy and wonder.
