CGiii Comment

This warm and thought-provoking film offers a lens into the Asian familial ways of love and acceptance. For Indian Pakistani American Khalid Quraishi, his daughter Zunaira’s announcement that she was ready to marry the woman of her dreams was a joyous, even miraculous, occasion. Having lived through the Partition, persecution, and the harrowing threat of nearly losing Zunaira to cancer, Khalid never once doubted what his Muslim faith had taught him to believe was most important of all: his love for his family.
