“This peppy first feature by Fawzia Mirza has a boisterous energy and toe-tapping use of music.” – Observer (UK)
This delightful Pakistani-Canadian co-production is the debut film from writer/director Fawzia Mirza, based on her theatrical stage play Me, My Mom & Sharmila, which in turn was based on her 2012 short film which shares the same name as the feature. Starring Amrit Kaur, this comedy-drama tells the story of “Azra”, a woman whose relationship with her parents has become strained ever since she came out as lesbian, and who undergoes a rollercoaster of emotions after the unexpected and untimely death of her father.
