Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Set among a South Asian community in the north of England, the film follows the journey of a teenager after she is discovered by her father as having fallen passionately in love. The story follows youthful naïveté, heartbreak, reckoning, and courage against the hold of toxic patriarchy.
