India, 1941. The country is in the midst of an uprising against the
British Raj. Led by Gandhi's freedom fighters, the people rebel
against the oppressive influence of the British monarchy.
One teenage girl, however, has other matters on her mind. Princess
Malvika Singh, otherwise known as the spoilt and mischievous Mili,
has just been accepted into the School of Tender Hearts. When Mili
and her best friend Vicky arrive at the boarding school, they meet
new friends Gurpreet and Jatin and commence causing havoc.
But even while skipping lessons and playing practical jokes, the
four cannot entirely forget the unrest and violence taking place in
the outside world. And when tragedy strikes the students, they must
all learn to cope with their grief. Mili finds herself transformed
from spoilt princess into someone more solitary and independent.
With this comes an increasing closeness to her teacher Raven, who
seems to be the only one she can trust.
As the violence escalates and love blossoms, the students must all
consider their futures, and what it means to be Indian in these
tumultuous times.
