Warm and sunny, writer-director Fawzia Mirza’s feature debut sees a young Pakistani Canadian woman exploring her ancestral past.
1990s: After a family tragedy, graduate student Azra (Amrit Kaur – The Sex Lives of College Girls) flies to Pakistan to reunite with her mother Mariam (Nimra Bucha – Polite Society), with whom she’s had a rocky relationship since Azra came out as gay. Struggling to fit in with Mariam’s image of the perfect daughter, Azra is transported – through Bollywood-inspired flashbacks – to 1960s Karachi, sparking a connection between her mother’s wild youth in a more permissive era of Pakistani life, and her own life in ‘90s Canada.
