The story

In London, film student Sue McKinley discovers the diary of her grandfather, James, who served as a British Army colonel in the 1930s.

After a series of failed auditions, Sue encounters Sonia's circle of friends—Daljit "DJ" Singh, Karan Singhania, Sukhi Ram, and Aslam Khan.

As filming progresses, the boys begin to unconsciously internalize the idealism of the historical figures they portray, and Sue enters into a romantic relationship with DJ.
