Back in India after a long absence and on a train on the way home, a young woman thinks back to a love from her past, Jafar. She recalls their affair: from their first meeting to her journey to Mozambique, to embark on an all-consuming but ultimately impossible relationship. Now, years later, with a chance to begin again, will she be able to put the past behind her and start a new chapter in her life? The Beloved Country is about love and loss, the choices we make in life and the people we become as a result.
