Shot on location in Goa, Southern India, it concerns a young man's search for his missing father, across beaches, through deserts, down rivers and through jungle he searches, finding love on the way.

Directed by Ben Hardyment, The Wonderland Experience leans on a strong ensemble — Scott Neal, Burt Kwouk, Vernon Dobtcheff — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
