Synopsis

Guy Jenkin writes and directs this romantic drama starring Jessica Alba

At the height of the British Empire, John Truscott travels to Sarawak, Malaysia, to join the colonial government and rule over the natives. On his arrival, he meets a beautiful young woman who is tasked with teaching him English. They soon fall in love, but their romance is an affront to the colonial order, and both are caught in the middle of a violent occupation.
