Hitler Upside Down

Adolf Hitler returns from the dead and comes to India, a country now inching towards fascism, in search of a mysterious holy ship that can save the Fuhrer from the end of days. Instead the Fuhrer ends up challenging the very Gods he had come to please.
Set in the lofty Himalayas, the film portrays the madness of a dictator in search of a mythical ship and the slow victory of his companion, an ordinary common girl, who he tries trick into slavery from the very beginning.
