London, December 1944. Emy hates India. 16 years ago, she had lost her parent there. And all of a sudden, past beckons. Rather accidentally, Emy chances upon the personal diary of her mother Amelia, a resigned young woman straight out of Victorian England, confronted through a strange India, with her own sexuality. January, 1930. Amelia sets sails with Emy on the first ship to Mumbai to reunite with her husband Thomas, Captain in the army of Khalapur, in Rajasthan. But the reunion leaves much to be desired.
