When a strike delays their flight out of Mariposa Spain two women—Holland an English filmmaker; and Hanni an aging American searching for her family's treasured ``Letters from Esau'' as well as for a son she hasn't seen since his birth in war-torn Berlin- -find they have the same travel agent Ben. Ben is the author of a travel book called A Guide for the Perplexed which offers ``no itineraries no routes touristique'' but only help for those who no longer know where or how to go. In a series of set pieces the narrative—interspersed with letters historical lore excerpts from the guide—moves back and forth from the 15th century to the present from Inca kingdoms to Berlin as the women while away the wait for the delayed flight. They wander from a bordello bar to an adult-movie house from the home of the mysterious violinist Sandor to the richly symbolic Cave of Esau. On these wanderings lugging a mysterious trunk Ben has entrusted to Hanni the two women meet a host of characters including Holland's long-lost daughter Isabella; a Peruvian descendant of Maimonides; and a British rock band. Connections and coincidences multiply as life histories are told and family legends of famous Jewish ancestors are recalled. In a climatic scene in the Cave of Esau from which Esau had sailed with Columbus to found a Jewish nation in the Americas all is made clear. Destinies are linked and the real purpose of the centuries of wanderings by Hanni's ancestors is revealed: ``Esau said it best—we are all Jews. Our survival is in our motion.'' Conceptually quite brilliant—but with too many tricks too many mirrors and too little really at the center of it.
