In 1929 young bride Mehar struggles with her family’s expectations whilst seventy years later her great‑grandson discovers what her story can teach him about his own path.
Mehar, a young bride in rural Punjab, is trying to discover the identity of her new husband. It is 1929, and she and her sisters‑in‑law — married to three brothers in a single ceremony — spend their days hard at work on the family farm, sequestered from contact with the men. When Mehar develops a theory as to which of them is hers, a passion is ignited that will put more than one life at risk.
Spiralling around Mehar’s story is that of a young man who in 1999 flees from England to the deserted sun‑scorched farm. Can a summer spent learning of love and of his family’s past give him the strength for the journey home?
