Kim

December 7, 1950

Les Indes, 1885. Alors qu'il est en mission secrète pour le colonel anglais Creighton, le jeune Kim fait la rencontre d'un lama dont il devient le disciple. Conquis par la nouvelle sagesse de Kim, le colonel décide de lui confier une nouvelle mission, de la plus haute importance : surveiller les agissements d'une expédition scientifique des plus douteuses.

Jeune journaliste à la BBC, Anne Rivers est fascinée depuis toujours par le passé de sa tante Olivia, qui, dans les années 20, alors qu'elle avait épousé un haut fonctionnaire britannique en mission aux Indes, choisit de quitter son mari pour un prince indien, le Nawab de Khatm. Anne décide un jour de gagner l'Inde pour en savoir plus. Tandis que le destin tragique d'Olivia s'éclaire peu à peu - enceinte, mise au ban de la communauté britannique, elle disparut de la société avant de mourir dans l'oubli, Anne s'éprend à son tour d'un Indien, Inder Lal, dont elle attend bientôt un enfant. L'histoire semble se répéter...

February 2, 1928

Made by an English family living in north India during the heyday of the Raj, this amateur film reveals the grandeur in which middle-class English colonials lived.

Journeying across Varanasi, Lucknow, and Muzzafarpur in India, this documentary film traces the lost traditions and the culture of tawaifs (courtesans of North India), particularly through a song sung by Rasoolan Bai, "Lagat karejwa ma chot, phool gendwa na maar" and its lesser known, earlier version "Lagat jobanwa ma chot, phool gendwa na maar" (recorded in a 1935 Gramophone recording). Weaving the past with the present, the film spans between personal stories as it interacts with historical events, ultimately leading to the decline of a great art form.
