In 1999 Toronto, queer Muslim grad student Azra leads a life far removed from her strictly religious mother in Pakistan. But when her father unexpectedly passes away, Azra returns to her homeland, where she is transported—through Bollywood-inspired flashbacks—to 1960s Karachi. There, she discovers her mother’s untamed youth during a more liberal time in Pakistani history. Fawzia Mirza’s vibrant time-hopping comedy drama brilliantly explores the tension between personal desires and cultural expectations.
