Cotton Mary

From Academy Award winning Merchant Ivory Productions, creators of A Room with a View, Howards End and The Remains of the Day, comes Cotton Mary, the captivating story of an Anglo-Indian woman haunted by the specter of colonialism. The sensual tale unfolds with Madhur Jaffrey playing a military nurse desperate to be a part of the British upperclass of 1954 India. When a chance encounter with the naive Lily Macintosh, played by Greta Scacchi, lets her into this exclusive and privileged world, she finds that staying in this world is even more difficult than getting there. Set against the spectacular backdrop of the exotic and lush South Indian coastline, Cotton Mary takes you on one woman's search to find her place at any cost and how far she will go to keep herself there once she has arrived.
