This is about one of the longest ever movie making partnerships - between producer, Ismail Merchant and director, James Ivory.

The film provides fresh perspectives and behind-the-scenes footage of the unique Merchant Ivory team and their working style.

It also includes insights from the many Oscar-winning actors who have appeared in their films, including Hugh Grant, Emma Thompson, Helena Bonham-Carter and Vanessa Redgrave. Each of them detailing their experiences of being a part of the “wandering company” which produced a range of iconic films over a period of four decades.
