Logline: India, 1947, in the last days of the British Raj, a way of life is coming to an end. Intertwining cultures are forced to separate. As PARTITION divides a nation, two lives are brought together in a profound and sweeping story that reveals the tenderness of the human heart in the most violent of times.
Synopsis: Gian and Naseem are a latter-day Romeo and Juliet.
With the partition of India and Pakistan sparking bloodshed between
Sikhs and Muslims, their respective people might be mortal enemies but
Gian and Naseem are determined to follow their hearts. He refuses to
abandon his pledge to leave war and its atrocities behind, she can't
forget his courage and kindness in saving her from his countrymen's
swords. As their love flourishes and eventually finds acceptance in
Gian's village, the search for Naseem's family goes on. When it proves
successful, their delicate world is shattered. A brief visit to see her
family in Pakistan becomes a kind of imprisonment for Naseem, as her
brothers and mother remain bitter about their fate at the hands of the
Sikhs in Gian's village and refuse to let her return to India. Gian
sets off on a journey across a land whose wounds are still raw, hoping
against hope that he can bring home peace and harmony. With its rich
tapestry of stories and characters based on real people and events,
Partition is a moving and timeless tale of innocent people struggling
to find happiness in treacherous times.
