Period drama fans won’t be able to resist this sun-soaked forbidden love story

Ellie Bamber stars in the forbidden love drama film, Prisoners of Paradise, which will be available in the UK on Monday 10 August

Calling all period drama fans! If, like me, you love a good forbidden love story, you’re in for a treat. The new romance film, Prisoners of Paradise, is just days away from premiering in the UK – and it’s definitely on my watchlist.

If you love rule-breaking romances like Brideshead Revisited or Atonement, you might want to put Prisoners of Paradise on your watchlist.

What is Prisoners of Paradise about?

Directed by Mitch Jenkins and based on the book of the same name by Romesh Gunsekera, the film follows a young woman sent to live under her uncle’s care in Mauritius in 1925. Before long, she falls head over heels for a handsome local.

The official synopsis reads: “Love was their greatest rebellion. Set on the enchanting island of Mauritius in 1925, recently orphaned Lucy is sent to live with her charming but controlling uncle.
