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?

“evening”
The price of freedom is everything /为何非黑即白/南非纸钞屋（不是
rnm好怪，不看了不看了，等等再看一点再看一点，rnm好怪，虽然但是中间还是有点纯，男主金句频出，好在结尾不是骗婚，如果和大叔一样，多少有点无法接受，不过亮平真的好暖，看的我都被感染了，小野那种义气的感觉也好真实。
这个片的nb之处在于，它展示了南非种族隔离的极端自我防卫机制，哪怕你是身居高位的白人，威胁了这个体制也得死。
第三人称和史实角度：他们可能只是政治生涯中的一枚棋子，所有人都在迎合政治去下这盘大棋。最后他们输了，或者说他们根本就没赢过，只是平白无故的牺牲。他们证明了什么，但好像又什么都没证明，只留下了若干具尸体。
另：
孩子啊，莫自责，莫强求，
反转又反转啊，一开始我以为今井翼只是个有钱大叔，没想到是个骗婚男，以为安藤是双没想到他只是拿三浦来试试做个普通人，觉得小野是单纯想替人出柜很不好结果他是因为三浦，良平才是大好人啊！虽然他被小野说改变和安藤的相处方式什么的，但是知道安藤喜欢男生之后他不改之前乱摸的行为更不合适吧。。而且虽然全校开始议论纷纷但居然还会展开平等讨论，妈妈对喜欢男生这件事的反应也和以往不同了，时代在进步了（?）
What's the price of freedom? Everything!
What's the price of freedom? Everything. Sometimes Freedom costs too much. 然而，我们一往无前。
这个话题讨论了这么多次，又解决什么问题了？
喜欢的是bl和homo 现实中发生的话也是不知道怎么面对的处境
电影十分细腻，情节刻画的十分到位，最后向自己和解的结尾也十分喜欢，毕竟世界过于简单就没有想象中那么好了
前半段的抗争成色，在类型片范畴里可圈可点，节奏把控也凌厉。但是，从司法部长女儿一番所谓同理心表达、以及黑白混血女的“真情流露”，这种老套的政zhi正确和道德正确植入，让整个片子立即坠入烂尾深渊。
我不普通？我不正常？
真实事件改编，借一次所谓的恐怖事件，反映当时南非的种族黑暗……影片的细节刻画也很出色，人性的种种令人唏嘘。
可看可不好看，种族，劫持，都是喜欢的题材，可是这个深度不够…
自由的代价是什么?
前1个小时铺垫过长，而且并没有把人物性格人物背景交代好，好在后30分钟的高潮捡起来了。“若为自由故，一切皆可抛”。
