Synopsis

Meera Syal's wonderful coming-of-age novel makes a successful transition to the big screen here. Set in the Midlands of the 1970s, the story concerns Meena, a young Anglo-Asian girl starting to navigate the path between innocence and maturity. Her parents want her to be a good Punjabi girl, but Meena wants to decide her own future and finds herself drawn to the rebellious older white girl, Anita. This is a funny, moving and thought-provoking film.
