NoneWilliam Nothingham is fair, decent, honorable, principled, virtuous, truthful, and above board. Mr. Nothingham is also a product of his environment, background, culture, and menage. He tries to handle and abide by the influences and factors that are imposed upon him by his family, even though they are not in alignment with his character. William’s sincere and genuine self is constantly clashing with his family’s traditions, beliefs, customs, and rituals. He wants to be warm and fuzzy. His family wants him to be cold and calculating. Ideally, if William Nothingham could have things his way, his life, his family, our society, and our world would resemble and mimic the world of insects, specifically a community of ants. We would all be extraordinarily strong, we’d be completely unselfish, and we’d work diligently and tirelessly and behave according to the needs of the entire “colony,” functioning as a well-orchestrated single unit. However, William Nothingham is merely a man, subject to the pressures and effects of other men, both good and bad. He learns that pleasing and being true to his sincere self and attempting to please a not so sincere society is difficult. Doing so can easily lead to one’s moral demise and possibly final exit. Karma also addresses the partial path of black people—people held in bondage for hundreds of years and supposedly freed. The problem is the people had been oppressed and enslaved for so long they had a hard time flipping the script and regrouping. The newly “freed” people felt strange being in charge of themselves. Imagine if we all functioned like the ants that work for the good of everybody. Do we now know that love, respect, and attitude cannot be legislated?
Karmavolad. Kolm ajastut. Kolm inimest. Kolm elu

Pealtnaha on need kolm erinevat lugu. Uks toimub Tiibeti kloostris. Teine suure naljahada aegsel Iirimaal. Kolmas kuskil siinsamas, mitte eriti ammu. Igas loos on kolm osalist, kes otsivad vastust kusimusele, mis siis tegelikult on armastus ning kust ja mis eesmargil ta meie ellu tuleb. Miks vahel on tunne, et oled inimest, kellega just lahedaseks said, tundnud juba terve igaviku?
Iris, noor edukas naine, kohtab lennukis meest, kes pole kaugeltki “tema tuup” kuid kellega ometi tekib kogu naise senist elu pea peale poorav armulugu. Imekaunis moisaharra sohilaps Ireen armub vaesesse perepoega suvel, mis saab saatuslikuks tervele kulale ning hukatuslikuks talle endale. Noor munk Ikaro on tunnistajaks parima sobra rapasele saladusele ning peab valima, kas reeta koik, mida ta puhaks peab voi tunnistada endale, mida ta tegelikult ihaldab. Miks sekkub meie ellu saatuslik karma ja kaugele selle loimed ulatuda voivad?
“Karmavolad” on uhtaegu romantiline armastuslugu ja samas ka ponev fantaasia inimsuhete taga kulgevate salaparaste saatuseniitide teemal.
