Queer Pakistani grad student, Azra, is worlds apart from her conservative Muslim mother. When her father suddenly dies on a trip home to Pakistan, Azra finds herself on a Bollywood-inspired journey through memories, both real and imagined; from her mother’s youth in Karachi to her own coming- of-age in rural Canada.
Writer-Director, Fawzia Mirza, will be in attendance for a live Q&A following the film.
