Synopsis
Set between Toronto and the colorful streets of Karachi, the film follows 22-year-old queer Muslim grad student Azra Malik, who is estranged from her conservative mother, Mariam. When her father dies suddenly during a trip to Pakistan, Azra is pulled back to her ancestral home for the burial and into a journey through memory, identity, and reconciliation. Barred from participating in the funeral rites, Azra flashes back to key moments in her family’s past: Mariam’s rebellious youth in 1969 Karachi, and their shared struggles as immigrants in 1989 Nova Scotia, where Mariam turned to religion to cope with her husband’s illness and Azra’s queerness. In an unexpected moment between Azra and her dementia-stricken grandmother, a moment of revelation allows Azra to begin the process of mending the long-fractured relationship with her mother.
