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?
片子很smooth，蛮真实的成长阵痛。男主善良体贴，喜欢他能用成人的方式沟通解决情感问题，挺高兴看到他的成长过程中有好的妈妈和弟弟。喜欢those memories exist，还有那句，你是在克制接近我还是在克制远离我。达妹好看。
7.5/10分
像是《甘草披萨》的削弱版 主角们都用一种舒适合理的方式影响互相的生活 这种的青春小品片可能没有什么意义 但至少看得舒服 apple+真的和不挑食的网飞比起来太会选片了
导演竟然是97年的！也太懂我这种类型的年轻人在想些什么吧！“Do you think i peaked already？”
人生的经历总有许多相似之处，年轻人就应该享受 年轻 ！
男主妈妈真的好好哦，理解了为什么男主从小到大都爱上姐姐款
1.男主这样的人设对我来说充满疏离感，共情的同时又觉得不真实。2.台词写的有点拧巴（不太像是翻译的问题）3.配乐和画面没啥子质感，其实对于走温情线的片子这很重要，情绪烘托不起来的感觉。4.这是纯爱吗？即便我的生活没有，但不影响我被代入到温暖到了。5.眼神加分6.我喜欢生活里的平平淡淡才是真但是赤裸裸的直接搬到银幕上多少欠点记忆点。
今年最爱的电影之一，好治愈。你是如此温暖，即便得不到你所爱之人，也不妨碍你闪耀。看得时候就觉得写这个剧本的人，一定跟里面的男主一样，是个超温柔的人。看完才发现，导演编剧竟然就是男主演员。这小子真帅！ps.达妹真是好魅，还是影片的监制和出品。
{★★☆} 我的人生还有很多比坐着看中产白男讲自以为幽默的笑话、困扰于任何中国大学生都会嗤之以鼻的成长难题--当然那是因为他们早就变成了机器上的齿轮--更重要的事，但不幸我在看这部电影的时候没有意识到。Serena ChaCha got more edges than this film。
顺滑到有点过于顺滑。
轻松的电影 成长的爱情观 男主受母亲经历的正负面影响 kind
人生会遇到很多灵魂伴侣，但是最终走下去的只有一个，我们在价值和自我定位里取舍，步入快乐。但回忆也一直潜藏在心底。
哇哦 很惊艳的剧本 真的非常美好 一种简单又复杂的情绪 怎么说呢 不明觉厉 有点高级 达科塔演技真的可以 忧郁气质真的演绎的非常到位 这位男主兼导演真的非常有才华 片段故事浓度不小 很有吸引力 值得一看！
有这么一种电影，用不了十分钟你就可以确信它的平庸。你能感受到导演想做什么但是完全达不到效果。
真不错啊，虽然现实与理想并不相同，但不妨碍自己发光
恰恰丝滑 有点像22岁版的 毕业生。但没有 毕业生 那种压抑，也把欢迎来到成年人这个f**k世界讲的透透的。有些事掰开了讲就不好玩了，欲言又止会好一点。可能是导演年轻吧，但他真不会演戏，脸上的小动作太多了，导致表情经常变，感觉他还是当导演比较好。女主角89年的，就演一十几岁孩子的妈了。。。。。
太！难！看！了！so美式so白男视角so苹果 导演是不是拍苹果广告出身的
每个角色都在成长。达妹无时无刻都在flirting状态呢
翻译应该叫蝻；很多symbolism，graphic extreme版的shirley jackson，没有故事纯粹的感受，我挺愿意为这种体验买单
97年的小伙子自编自导自演，除了稍感自恋和难免给自己加戏，整体挺好的。达妹轻声细语的好撩人。
