Synopsis:
Quit India is a forbidden love story centered on a young Hindu girl and a British officer in the months preceding Britain’s evacuation of India and its rise an independent nation-state. At its heart, it is a story about war, the struggle to hold onto something, the struggle to let it go, and perhaps most importantly, the ultimate power of true love.
