Film Description

The children of immigrants often lead double lives which can arise unexpectedly in times of crisis. Traditions, culture and belonging clash in this colourful eruption of a film. Director Maryam Keshavarz explores serious issues through a cornucopia of scenes: from heartfelt love and pain to choregraphed dances, retro pop music, and asides to the audience.
