About
The American-born son of Indian immigrants strives to fit in among his fellow New Yorkers despite his family's unwillingness to let go of their traditional ways.
New York City serves as a sprawling, lonely backdrop for a son caught between his parents' Bengali traditions and his own American identity. This quiet drama captures the ache of cultural displacement through intimate, lived-in moments.
