If the parts of a ship are replaced, bit-by-bit, is it still the same ship?
A blind photographer, celebrated for her intuitive work, successfully captures the
essence of her experience in her photography. However, she also struggles with
insecurities over authorship in the context of larger questions about subjectivity and
intent in art.
An erudite monk, who is an ideologue and practitioner of non-violence, and involved
in animal rights activism, is forced to make a choice between death and medicine -
medicine that is either derived from, or tested on animals. As death closes in, he requestions
all the ideas that he has always taken for granted.
A young stockbroker has a frictional relationship with his grandmother, whom he
nurses in a hospital. When it is discovered that a neighbouring patient has had his
kidney stolen, he starts out on a trail that leads him to a kidney tourism racket. Altruism
and concern leads him to confront the recipient of the kidney, eventually making him
discover how intricate morality could be.
Following the separate strands of their philosophical journeys, and their eventual
convergence, Ship of Theseus explores questions of identity, justice, beauty, meaning
and death. |
