SYNOPSIS

Scripted by David Magee, and based on Yann Martel's novel, this is an absurdist and yet philosophical story, "Pi" follows a 16-year-old Indian boy whose passage to a new life in America aboard a freighter ends in shipwreck in the Pacific. Left to fend for himself for 227 days on a 26-foot life raft with a hyena, an orangutan, an injured zebra and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, Pi survives for the better part of a year through faith and guile, though Richard eventually kills off and dines on the rest of Pi's shipmates.
