Synopsis

Naveen has lived his life by the book; he’s a loyal husband and loving father. He’s sacrificed everything for his family. But today is going to be different as, after finding his teenage daughter Simran secretly gorging herself and his dissatisfied wife Sangeeta in bed with his brother, secrets that have festered for decades long come pouring out and he’s forced to face up to who he really is.
A dark comedy with real heart, that seeks to bring a new, urgent representation of contemporary British Asian families to international screens.
