Canadian writer and director, Fawzia Mirza’s stylish feature debut mashes up the textures of Indian cinema and a Canadian coming-of-age, tracing key moments in the lives of a mother and daughter born three decades apart.
Azra (Amrit Kaur), a Canadian-born daughter, and her conservative Muslim mother, Mariam (Nimra Bucha), have contrasting lives. When Azra's father unexpectedly passes away during a visit to Pakistan, she embarks on a Bollywood-inspired journey through their memories, bridging the gap between her mother's youth in Karachi and her own coming-of-age in rural Canada. Both mother and daughter share a passion for Bollywood fantasy, shaping their individual coming-of-age experiences in different eras.
