Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
很多地方都不合情理不分场合地开始亲热，最后哭怪谁呢？
这邪教吧，belief真的好恐怖。
拍的很好，尤其女主被姑父/姨夫发现后的紧张，简直太真实了……
Aunt的角色是里面我最最最最心疼的，她真的太善解人意，太会隐忍，太包容，太爱这里的人了 （另外我要说这不是啥宗教，是邪教）
因为爱意总是无法藏住。
拍的很好，尤其女主被姑父/姨夫发现后的紧张，简直太真实了……
眼镜好减分啊。那一句 I can believe enough for both of us 震惊到我了
性张力好，戏剧张力不太行。违命前传笑死了。
我就请问为什么l g b t q 每次都这么惨？能有哪次是没有男性视角没有ZJ视角没有hwl视角的甜甜rom com吗？
厕所背后拥抱可以进本人top 5的电影名场面了 以及生小孩真的会光速变老 这也太可怕了吧
片尾堪称反婚反育警世片段，生了孩子憔悴那么多。bgm，色调一流。结尾不太能接受。（戴眼镜的女主美哭我
好久没看到这么心动的电影了，看了两遍，前面有多甜，后面就有多虐，呜呜呜呜呜。
我对结尾的理解是，宗教不能救赎人，但是爱可以。我可太爱Jaime的颜了🥺
剧情太压抑了，结尾也让我很不理解，既然分开就不要再见和怀念了吧。最后为演员颜值加一星
什么时候同性电影可以不be了，那才是真的进步了......终于明白同性圈为啥那么鄙视双了，结婚生孩子就能到达新世界也是笑死，等天堂来了，爱人就能团聚了，这就是所谓的信仰？Sorry , my god is a faggot
演员化学反应爆表了，从头到尾都看得我揪着心，眼镜女主身边的朋友亲人都很善解人意。😢有点老套好猜的剧情，但是结局可以抹去我的伤痛。和《违命》就是题材像吧，角色差很多，Esti更勇敢。
拥抱是命运
这片子分虚高了吧……宗教元素说实话不强，也没有表现出宗教的禁忌感，结果就那么混混乱乱的过了，结局还想搞出轨？呃
人物形象太刻板了，剧情急转直下没收好尾，但是都没关系！因为太好嗑了！心跳疯狂漏拍！友情提示：这部电影只有70分钟，后面的剧情可以忽略。
中段看到馬麗克一些舉止就早已內心警鈴大響：吊女！渣女！別碰！觀影體驗算漸入佳境吧。喜歡這種收尾。
