My Magical Palace

Haunted by dreams of an unforgettable loss, Rahul, a young man of thirty living in San Francisco, suddenly becomes secretive and withdraws from his partner Andrew. When Andrew discovers that Rahul is still interviewing girls sent by his parents for an arranged marriage, he gives Rahul an ultimatum-stop living a lie, or give up their relationship. In response, Rahul tells Andrew a story. About a boy who lived in a palace. A boy named Rahul.

Set in San Francisco today and in India in the early 1970s, My Magical Palace is a sensitive tale about a boy's coming of age, and the many hurdles he must cross to heal and find himself.
