Azra (Amrit Kaur, Sex Lives of College Girls) flies back to her ancestral home in Pakistan to be reunited with her grieving mother Mariam (Nimra Bucha, Polite Society), with whom she has a strained relationship. Struggling to fit the image of the perfect daughter, Azra finds herself transported, through Bollywood-inspired flashbacks, to 1960s Karachi, sparking a connection between her mother’s wild youth to her own life in 90s Canada.

This event includes a post-screening discussion hosted by South Asian Sisters Speak (SASS). 

SASS creates spaces for South Asian women to connect, learn and share their experiences. They run regular workshops, panel events and are also the home of the Brown Girls’ Book Club – helping South Asian women find belonging and community so they feel empowered to be their whole selves.
