Determined to leave the ravages of the war behind, Gian Singh (
Jimi Mistry) resigns from the British Indian Army to a quiet life. His world is soon in turmoil when he suddenly finds himself responsible for the life of a 17-year-old girl, traumatized by the events that separated her from her family.
Slowly, resisting all the taboos, Gian finds himself falling in love with the vulnerable Naseem (
Kristin Kreuk) and she shyly responds. In a moving and epic story, woven into a rich and exotic tapestry, they battle the forces that haunt their innocent love, fighting the odds to survive in a world surrounded by hate.
Canadian Connection: Partly filmed in British Columbia. Some cast members are Canadian.
