Dir: Fawzia Mirza | Canada | 2023 | 97 mins

Cast | Amrit Kaur, Nimra Bucha, Hamza Haq, Uzma Beg

Writer-director Fawzia Mirza’s warm, sunny debut feature follows a young Pakistani Canadian woman coming to terms with her upbringing and her ancestral past. 

1990s: After a family loss, 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 a lesbian. 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 world in nineties Canada.
