The Washing Machine (Part 1)

This is episode one in a three-part series. 

When Isabelle returns from England to India, she has big plans for the banana plantation she used to call home; parties, tennis courts, and all the luxuries of the upper-class modern woman. But with her property overrun with monkeys from the neighbouring convent, superstitious servants, and the wrath of an Aghori guru, can her brand-new washing machine help remove the stains from her past?
