The Darjeeling Limited: Three American brothers who have not spoken to each other in a year set off on a train voyage across India with a plan to find themselves and bond with each other -- to become brothers again like they used to be. Their "spiritual quest", however, veers rapidly off-course (due to events involving over-the-counter pain killers, Indian cough syrup, and pepper spray), and they eventually find themselves stranded alone in the middle of the desert with eleven suitcases, a printer, and a laminating machine. At this moment, a new, unplanned journey suddenly begins.
The first half of this is awesome. During the second half it gets a little heavy handed and too obvious with the symbolism. Definitely watch this with the short film "Hotel Chevalier" attached. It's not really necessary to see them both but it definitely adds to some understanding of Schwartzman's character.
