India Song adalah ketakmampuan penjajah untuk menerjemahkan segenap objek-objek kajiannya terkait dengan praktik metodologis maupun pragmatis. Dibuka dengan dialog dan suara berbahasa Laos yang sesekali muncul di sepanjang filem, India Song bercerita mengenai seorang perempuan bernama Anne-Marie Stretter, istri seorang diplomat Prancis di India pada 1930-an. Pada umur ke-18 ia menikah dengan seorang administrator kolonial Perancis dan pergi dengan suaminya ke Savannakhet, Laos. Di sana dia bertemu suami keduanya yang membawanya pergi dan selama 17 tahun hidup di berbagai tempat di Asia. Sekarang dia tinggal di Kolkatta dan menyimpan kekasih untuk mengakhiri kejemuan dalam hidupnya yang teralienasi dari sekitarnya.

It is the colonialist’s inability in explaining some objects of their study related to both methodological and pragmatical practices. It begin with a dialogue and the Lao-language voices occasionally sounded along the film. India Song tells the story of Anne-Marie Stretter who was a wife of a French diplomat in India on 1930s. When she was 18, she married a French colonial administrator and moved to Savannakhet, Laos. There she met her second husband and for 17 years they lived in various places in Asia. Then she lived in Calcutta, with her affair, to put an end to boredom in her alienated life.
