Return to the Light

Here's the summary of the movie I'm going to write for my script class. Name sucks. I'll fix it later. The movie is a comedy.

Return to the Light Summary

I  

Three yoga class friends, Jessica, Haley, and Kate, wait at the airport for their yoga instructor Monica, who is taking them on a spiritual journey to Peru. When Monica shows up they are surprised to find that she’s bringing her 8 year old daughter, Pacha Ray, on the trip.

They arrive in Cusco and meet John and Helen, a couple who will be joining them on a trip to the Sacred Terraces of Moray. Haley and Pacha Ray are badly behaved on the bus, with Pacha Ray throwing up on Kate. Monica attempts to do a purification ceremony using an app on her iPhone while Kate cleans up the vomit, Pacha Ray screams, Haley gets drunk, and John is attacked by a rabid dog. Jessica saves John. Then the group rushs to the bus to get John to the hospital but the bus breaks down.

II  

Everyone is on a train to Aguas Calientes. Monica is oblivious to Pacha Ray’s bad behavior. Haley is scoring drugs, Kate is being annoying, and John and Helen are being robbed by a local. Jessica finally takes charge of Pacha Ray. Kate gets jealous.

Arriving in Aguas Calientes in the evening, everyone goes to dinner. Monica and Kate have to run back to the hotel because they have stomach problems. Haley leaves with some locals. John catches on fire when a firework lands on his head. He and Helen head to the hospital. Jessica and Pacha Ray are left alone and a friendship starts to develop between them after a rocky start.

The next morning Kate and Monica are too sick to go to Macchu Picchu. Jessica takes Pacha Ray which upsets Monica because she doesn’t want her daughter to get to go there before she does.

Jessica and Pacha Ray return to the hotel later that day, having obviously had fun. The other women are in the lobby. Monica is furious. Haley is passed out and Kate is upset. Jessica tries to talk to Monica but it doesn’t help. At dinner that night Jessica is shunned. Then Monica says Jessica must help them pay for a spiritual guide Herbert to do a bunch of ridiculous ceremonies the next day at Macchu Picchu. Jessica is reluctant but agrees to keep the peace. Pacha Ray has reverted to her bad behavior again and is being mean to Jessica.

Jessica leaves the hotel, eats some vendor food, and gets sick.

III 

Jessica goes to the first ceremony at Macchu Picchu even though she’s sick; Pacha Ray is throwing rocks at her during the ceremony. Then Jessica decides to climb Huayna Picchu alone. On the top of the mountain she has a spiritual experience, but returns to find the other women almost left her behind and that Monica has told Pacha Ray that Jessica is dead. Pacha Ray and Jessica are friends again. Back home the women sit in a circle with their yoga class to talk about their spiritual enlightenment.
