Eine tragische Reise uber den Himalaja, ein verhangnisvoller Bannfluch, ein Schneider mit magischen Kraften - eine hinreissende Liebesgeschichte. Bombay, 1946. Zehn Jahre hat Charlotte Bridgwater in einem Internat in England verbracht. Jetzt steht sie am Hafen von Bombay und wartet auf ihren Vater, einen englischen Major. Aber sie wird nicht mit ihm nach Hause zuruckkehren, denn am Kai steht ein englischer Soldat, in den sie sich auf der Stelle verliebt. Rampur, 1995. Charlotte Bridgwater wohnt nach einem bewegten Leben wieder mit ihrem Vater im Haus ihrer Kindheit. Die grosse Villa ist inzwischen verfallen. Vorbei sind die Zeiten, in denen hohe Militars in Galauniform sich mit ihren Frauen zu grossen Festen einfanden. Das Wegdwood-Service musste ebenso verkauft werden wie die Rubine aus dem grossen Kristalluster. Den letzten Rubin versetzt Charlotte, um Stoff fur ein Kleid zu kaufen, das sie zur Gala des New Rampur Club tragen will. Auf dieses Fest freuen sich alle, auch wenn das Leben in der Stadt unertraglich geworden ist, man leidet unter der Hitze, wartet auf den Monsun. Als der Schneider unerwartet stirbt, ruhen alle Hoffnungen auf Madan, der sich vom bettelnden Strassenkind zu einem begnadeten Schneider entwickelt hat. Er mietet sich bei Charlotte ein und beginnt mit seiner Arbeit. Das schonste Kleid aber naht er fur Charlotte, die an diesem Abend uber die Tanzflache wirbelt wie >>eine feurige Blume<<. Da tauchen.
