Plot

Filmmaker Paul Saltzman revisits a transformative chapter from his past, reflecting on his time with the Beatles in 1968 at Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram along the Ganges. During that pivotal experience, he not only discovered meditation but also deepened his connection with John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Fast forward fifty years, and Saltzman embarks on a new journey, encountering figures like David Lynch and Beatles expert Mark Lewisohn. A nudge from his daughter, Devyani, leads him to rediscover intimate photographs from that summer, reigniting memories of a profound moment in music history.
