Set against the sweeping grandeur of the Himalayas and tea plantations of Northern India, the drama tells the rich and explosive story of the decline of the British Empire and the birth of modern India, from both sides of the experience. But at the heart of the story lie the implications and ramifications of the tangled web of passions, rivalries and clashes that define the lives of those brought together in this summer which will change everything. It's the summer of 1932. India dreams of Independence, but the British are clinging to power. In the foothills of the Himalayas stands Simla; a little England where every summer the British power-brokers of this nation are posted to govern during the summer months. 喜马拉雅山脚下的白人营地。那年印度的夏天，是日不落帝国最后的荣光。questions。 在喜马拉雅山脚下的英国殖民地希姆拉，英国人和印度人迎来了为期六个月的夏季。这个1932年的夏天和往年的夏天并没有什么不同，希姆拉（实际拍摄地是马来西亚）鲜花盛开，舞会和派对们眼看将绵延整个夏季。不同的是，这将是一个时代结束前最后的宁静。甘地和他代表的印度独立力量正在崛起，演讲，集会，甚至更为激进的暗杀捅破了虚假的歌舞升平。
