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?
这剧情虽然有点离谱但还是温暖啊
剧情有些离谱，其他都挺不错。梨花女士最后的笑真的好心酸
扯是真的扯，但也是真的催泪。戏剧化也要有个度啊喂，当观众没脑子大概不得行ww咩酱真的太可爱了，另外，梨花的那个遗照真的很飘柔广告🤣🤣
日式催淚片……理想很豐滿，現實很骨感，爸爸媽媽五個人都很好，還是珍惜周邊的親人吧～ありがとう
我不太相信世界上有这么好的继父继母的存在，而且不能理解为什么要用接力棒这个意象来指代女性，还是要靠男性发挥主力吗？
原作吃甜品的好多片段好像都没拍出来，剧情过于紧凑走马灯一样…十元女士感觉只有一个表情……
5.0/10 咱就是说你们演戏能不能带一点情感？
幸好没在sundance上买票看这部...
看了原作觉得平平无奇，电影倒是拍得让情感流动变得突出，除了冈田都演的很好，虽然我不理解这个故事发生走向，但不影响被催泪弹搞得泪流三升。十元的造型一个比一个美，就是笑容有点模式化。咩酱要是遇到好剧本应该有机会拿奖，演技越来越好了。
可看可不看吧…表演和画面还可以，能理解想表达的情感。但这么多人物塞到两个多小时的电影里确实有点为难。
总体来说是一部温情的日影，电影前半段还可以，虽然我总觉得为了推进剧情发展而人物动机不足，但是因为小演员樱樱很可爱演技很好、咩酱和石原里美都很漂亮（编发好好看）就继续看下去了；没想到电影的后半段剧情更加稀碎，无聊至极，看得我一直拉进度条。
怎么说呢，因为原著还得了奖，所以原以为剧情不会这么差的。强行催泪真不行啊。
咩酱能把所有剧都变得治愈吧～但是这个主题有一丢牵强，看看美女算了
随着时间的不断，还是带着感情的电影让人满意
一个抽到ssr的女孩，看完只想说y4太美了，笑也美哭也美，y4太美了。
冲着小粉来的，结尾引人深思，我一直觉着活着是一种诅咒！
印象中原著小说里妈妈好像活到了女儿结婚…改编之后咩酱和十元只有一个同框镜头了，是因为十元不想直接承认演了二十多岁女优的妈吗（bushi
荒诞、冷酷、黑色幽默，让我想起了《龙虾》。
近期看到的日剧作品中为数不多的治愈系作品，你遇到的每一个人只是一段旅程中的站点不必太过怀念。未来还是有不同的体验与未知的可能。有一个西班牙语就是说如果你对事物产生了情感，那就成为了时间的囚徒。或者说亲情生来就是一场无声的绑架，悲欢始于同一种模式和同一群人，这个里面讲那个原生家庭挺奇葩，剧情挺巧妙小有波澜。美好得像适合六一儿童节档的（PS俗一点讲，亲情类的治愈但是寡淡，它逃脱不出给物种遗传基因的俗套，亲情用这种方式pua了所有人
看这个海报 我是万万妹有想到田中圭和十元居然演的是咩酱的父母啊！！后面除了有点太过于煽情之外 整体还是很不错的 bgm和镜头风景加分
