Shazia
1987年、英国ルートンにある小さな町。パキスタンから移民してきた両親、マリクとヌールと暮らす彼らの長男ジェベドは、一帯で根強いマイノリティーへの偏見や、保守的な価値観に固執する父親マリクとの確執に悩む。そんなジェベドは同級生から影響を受け、人気歌手スプリングスティーンのファンとなり、自分自身の言葉で“詩”を書いて残し始める。ジェベドの詩は注目を集めだすが、彼とマリクの関係は複雑になっていき……。
Neelum
A British-Indian teenager struggles with his cultural heritage in modern-day London, falling for a white, 20-something actress/model during a 1970s-themed exhibition, and becoming obsessed with both her, the fashion and music of a seemingly more glamorous '70s era, all the while trying to keep his family's Indian traditionalism and the impending responsibilities of adulthood at bay.
India is surging with global ambition. But beyond the luxury hotels surrounding Mumbai airport lies a makeshift slum, full of people with plans of their own. Zehrunisa and her son Abdul aim to recycle enough rubbish to fund a proper house. Sunil, twelve and stunted, wants to eat until he’s as tall as Kalu the thief. Asha seeks to steal government anti-poverty funds to turn herself into a ‘first-class person’, while her daughter Manju intends to become the slum’s first female graduate. But their schemes are fragile; global recession threatens the garbage trade, and another slum-dweller is about to make an accusation that will destroy herself and shatter the neighbourhood.
