Beyond the Soul is a blending of cultural concepts that spans the gap of time and place. The Golden Wings Cinema production was filmed in India and in the United States. The story revolves around a spiritual reawakening that occurs when an American physician seeks answers for a patient who is suffering from an undiagnosed disease. The doctor surfs the Internet, which leads him to an Indian physician and Ayurveda, a system of ancient Indian medicine. The American physician travels to India, where, in a vision, the source of his patient's illness is revealed.
