Adapted from Rumer Godden’s novel, the story is a compelling look at the manner in which the two societies were still firmly interwoven in the late 1950s, a decade after Indian independence.
It’s 1959, and a widowed official with the United Nations in Delhi, India brings his two daughters from England to live with him. Tension between 15-year old Una and Alix, a Eurasian woman acting as governess soon erupts, as Una suspects her father’s motives. Una turns to an Indian poet for solace and her involvement with him leads to complications that upset the household.
