  • ""Kusum is a 14-year-old Indian girl. She lives and attends school in Delhi. Kaushal, her father, drives a motorised rickshaw and works his fingers to the bone to support his family. Sumitra, Kusum's mother, is about to have a baby. Kusum's family is poor, but their life isn't too bad, until Kusum falls ill. She isolates herself, she has raving fits and she refuses to eat properly. Her family takes her to see a doctor, but no physical illness can be found. It's evil spirits, say the neighbours. Kusum, Kaushal and Aunt Suman journey to the neighbouring town of Hapur, where Bhagat the healer lives. Bhagat is well-known throughout the region, and people travel hundreds of miles to see him. Bhagat's methods include conversation, rituals and herbal treatments. Joint trance sessions in which spirits talk constitute the core of his methodology. Should a patient fail to enter a trance, Bhagat's assistant Meena takes the spirits into herself and is entranced on behalf of the patient. Bhagat examines the family and orders treatment."--RAI website."
  • "Kusum is a 14-year-old girl who develops symptoms of a mysterious psychosomatic illness. Her impoverished family tries western medicine, and then resorts to the traditional healer Bhagat and the help of the god Balaji."
  • "Kusum is an ordinary 14-year-old-Indian girl. She lives in Delhi, goes to school and thinks about her future. Until she falls ill. Kusum stops eating, isolates herself and has severe fits of bad temper. Evil spirits have attacked the family, says Bhagat, an experienced healer. The family seeks help from western medicine but eventually turns to traditional spiritual healing under Bhagat. It's the start of a long road and the spirits are not easy opponents..."

  • "Kusum est une fille indienne de 14 ans. Elle vit à New Delhi, va à l'école et pense à son avenir. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle tombe malade. Kusum cesse de manger, s'isole et a de graves crises de mauvaise humeur. Les mauvais esprits ont attaqué la famille, dit Bhagat, un guérisseur expérimenté. La famille demande l'aide de la médecine occidentale, mais se tourne finalement vers la guérison spirituelle traditionnelle dans le cadre Bhagat. C'est le début d'une longue route et les esprits ne sont pas des adversaires faciles..."
