Description

A sensual and searing exploration of desire, infidelity and faith,  The Exiles draws inspiration from archetypal Hindu mythology  and romantic Sufi poetry, evoking unforgettable characters to  explore how with a new world come new freedoms, and with  them, the choices that could change everything we know about  those we thought we knew, including ourselves. Pooja Kapoor, a betrayed wife and mother, begins to question  her beliefs and marriage when she discovers that her husband  Rahul has fallen in love with a young Muslim man. Lonely  and desperate for divine intervention, she is forced to confront  painful truths about the past to make sense of the present. Narrated from the perspective of the wife, husband and lover,  The Exiles is a classic tale of love and loss set in Kenya, India and finally, Los Angeles.
