Perils of Cupid | Travels with Father | Journey of Radiance
Young Indy Home
For young Indiana Jones, a journey with his father always leads to adventure. A trip through Russia takes Indy from the opulent palaces of the aristocracy to fetid peasant villages as a result of running away from home following an argument with his parents. Joining up with novelist Leo Tolstoy, Indy takes to the road, engaging in philosophical discussions and clashing with colorful Gypsies and ferocious Cossacks. Realizing that there’s no place like home, Indy rejoins his mom and dad and travels to an isolated Greek monastery perched high atop a mountain peak. The arduous journey, including a harrowing trip in a tiny cage up the side of thousand-foot cliff, brings father and son closer together.
