Elizabeth Gilbert (Julia Roberts) had one goal in life; to live a life of happiness with a husband and family. From the outside Elizabeth was the idol of many, she had it all; a loving husband, a successful career and a blissful life, but Elizabeth wasn't happy. She realised, perhaps a little too late, that this wasn't her destiny at all.

Based on the best selling memoirs of Elizabeth Gilbert, Julia Roberts takes on the role of travelling the world in search of self discovery. She explores the realms of Italy and indulges in her love of exotic food. She travels to India and discovers the tranquillity of prayer and finally heads over to Bali, where unexpectedly she finds the meaning of true love.
