Based on Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling novel *Eat, Pray, Love*, which has sold more than 7 million copies globally, the plot centers on a heroine who seemingly has it all—a loving husband, a successful career, and a beautiful home—that women everywhere would dream of, yet she still feels an inner void. The blow of her divorce prompts her to leave everything behind and embark on a spiritual journey of self-discovery. From Italian cuisine to Indian spirituality, the heroine ultimately finds emotional healing and inner peace in Ubud.
