A Glaswegian of Pakistani descent falls for a white Catholic schoolteacher despite the protests of family, friends, and society. The familiar tale of cross-cultural romance gets a fresh update thanks to the naturalistic style of veteran director Ken Loach. Collaborating once again with screenwriter Paul Laverty for the final film in their Glasgow trilogy (My Name is Joe, Sweet Sixteen), Loach uses a largely non-professional cast to bring both the harsh and humorous realities of his characters to life.
