All these years, novels and movies have always covered stories in which the main characters from the West travel to India where it becomes a journey of self-discovery. These characters are introduced to a very meaningful and spiritual world very different from the Western world, and through this journey their souls undergo changes. “BARE FOOT ON CAMPUS” tries to adopt a different perspective while turning this pattern of story-telling and narrative style upside down. In our story the main characters do not go to India, but India comes to them … An Indian girl named SHIVA comes to a university in Turkey as an exchange student and starts changing the lives of the students around her. And we follow the whole story through the eyes of our main character, a student named DENİZ. The story reaches its climax when the shocking secret of Shiva is revealed towards the end. The story is a well-balanced mixture of comedy and tragedy and it unfolds smoothly keeping the viewers in constant wonder what’s going to happen next.
