On a flight back from
India photographer Saffron meets Cory. He is a multi-millionaire in
the
porn industry but does not tell her, since he wants to find a
woman that loves him for himself and not for his money, and also
fears that she might not find his work reputable. Saffron was adopted
from an Indian
orphanage at a very young age by English people and
brought up very much as an “Essex
girl”. She has difficulty in
coming to terms with who exactly she is in the world: she obviously
has Indian roots but does not know if she is Sikh, Muslim, Hindu or
Christian; she does not know why she was abandoned in the orphanage;
and rather intriguingly she has a scar on her
arm where a
tattoo was
removed. She and Cory date and though he sets out on a pretence of
being just a poor plumber the truth of his true source of income
finally comes out. After initial rebuttal Saffron accepts Cory with
his porn empire. Saffron’s English parents acknowledge that they
had the tattoo removed from her arm and find early photos of her
where the tattoo is still inscribed. Image enhancement enables the
tattoo to be made out as an
identity mark and Saffron is able to find
her home village and mother. Cory, all along, has had his own reasons
to set up an orphanage in India.
