This explores the arcane intricacies of Bangladeshi family traditions at first-hand by following his two young East End neighbours, feisty Shanara and her younger, more submissive sister, Hushnara, as they undertake arranged marriages. The result is a funny, intimate, moving portrait of how two British Asian girls cope very differently with the conflicting demands made on them by society.
Ffilm am fywyd teulu Bangladeshi yn Llundain a sut mae dau ddiwylliant gwahanol yn cyd-daro a gwrthdynnu.

Shahanara Begum & Simon Chambers will introduce the film and answer questions afterwards.

“A joyous surprise especially as it was made by some white guy.” The Asian Times
