Haiku-dô propone setenta haikus japoneses como enigmas a ser descifrados. Dado el carácter especular del haiku, empero, todo esfuerzo por desvelar un haiku tiene como resultado el desvelamiento del corazón de quien lo intenta. Más que de un desciframiento, de lo que se trata es de un acto de vaciamiento y de exponernos al haiku como ante un espejo. De ahí que tanto la escritura, el estudio o la lectura de los haikus pueda convertirse en un camino espiritual.

India, 1947. In un villaggio rurale del Bengala vivono tre sorelle, figlie di uno stimato medico. Priya, intelligente e idealista, è decisa a seguire le orme del padre, nonostante la società la disapprovi. Deepa, la bella, è determinata a fare un matrimonio che porti alla sua famiglia felicità e prestigio. Jamini, devota e acuta, con passioni più profonde di quello che rivela, è una talentuosa artista del kantha, un tipo di ricamo tradizionale. La loro è una casa di amore e sicurezza, un rifugio dagli eventi violenti che stanno prendendo forma nella nazione.
