Enlightenment comes to Talbichl. Followers of Bhagwan Amrita ("Blessed Nectar") move from Berlin to the green Bavarian province with children in tow. They are going to create a special "treatment center." Primal scream therapy, whole grain meals...are all that stand between them and the normal family little Lili dreams of.
Lili [Lisa?], sitting in a tree like a homesick deva, feels all alone in her Scandinavian familyBut the balancing act between "Om" and "Amen" cannot go well for long. "Summer in Orange" is a culture-clash comedy about the days when self-awareness, self-expression, and the mainstream Bavarian "soul" all coexisted.

VIMANA: a Sanskrit word with several meanings ranging from celestial mansion, platform, palace, or temple to mythological flying machines described in the Indian epics; an akasha-deva vehicle or "chariot of the gods" is capable of traveling through the air. While Indian mythology speaks of the devas as possessing rapid self-moving chariots or vehicles with which they traverse space, deva or devi was often used as an honorific by ancient Indians for their highly intellectual, extremely scientific forefathers of now forgotten antiquity. 
So vimanas as those thought to have been used by Atlanteans are spoken of as being self-moving and carrying their occupants through the air (cf SD 2:427-8). In the Ramayana, aerial vehicles are also mentioned as being used by the rakshasas (asuras or "anti-devas") of Sri Lanka; Ravana's vimana was called Pushpaka.
