Synopsis:
The themes of this film about a Muslim family are generational and cultural differences. The father Abbas’ biggest concern in life is to marry his daughter to a suitable Muslim man. His eighteen-year-old daughter Nazli has spent her entire life in Sweden and does not show any interest in her cousin Hamid, who has been selected as her future husband by her father. She cares more for Johan, a typical Swedish boy.
