Ruth
This is a story of a dysfunctional British Indian family set against a backdrop of changing multicultural Britain. As Brexit takes grip and fear against immigrates rises, an imported Indian bride, Simmy, discovers her British Asian husband, Raj, has run away on their wedding night. Her community conscious mother-in-law, Gurbaksh, traps the new bride in the house, to uphold their Izzat (honour). All is unwell, until the younger wayward son, Harry, arrives home from prison on licence. A secret love story starts to unfold, and the two inmates escape to the Slough countryside. As family secrets come to a head, the family have to let go of the past and cultural expectations.
