Synopsis
In her most personal film to date, acclaimed director Mira Nair (Vanity Fair, Monsoon Wedding ) brings to the screen a poignant and transporting exploration of the ties that can both tangle and bind global families as they brave change, conflict and disaster.

Spanning two generations, two clashing cultures and two very different ways of life that crash into each other only to become lovingly intertwined, Harold & Kumar's Kal Penn stars as a young Indian boy living in New Jersey who struggles with identity and love, rebelling against his traditional parents who have moved from India in order to experience a world of limitless opportunities - only to be confronted with the perils and confusion of trying to build a meaningful life in a baffling new society.

Support cast includes Emmy-nominee Glenne Headly, Jacinda Barrett, Linus Roache and Brooke Smith.
