Before the RainsSet in Southern India in the late 1930s, Before The Rains is the English language debut of acclaimed Indian director Santosh Sivan (Asoka).
An idealistic young man T.K. Neelan (Rahul Bose) finds himself torn between his aspirations for the future and loyalty to his traditional community when he discovers that his British boss, tea plantation owner Henry Moores (Linus Roache), is having an affair with a young Indian woman.
Jennifer Ehle lends solid dramatic support in the role of Moores' wife Laura.
Sivan's fascinating period melodrama makes spectacular use of the mountainous landscapes and lush locations in and around Kerala, India.
