| Description: |
Arjan Banga is forced to leave London to help his lonely mother run Bains Stores, their family''s provincial corner shop. But, it''s also a return to all that he tried to leave behind: narrow worldviews and post-industrial decline-and Singhfellows, a desi pub that defines itself by a religion that officially rejects drinking. But, his mother is adamant to keep the store open, forcing Arjan to work with her, reassess his relationship with his gori fiance and discover his family''s silent history: his aunt''s elopement, his mother''s marriage to a lower-caste man, and his family''s strange relationship with their desi neighbours, the Dhandas, whose macho heir can''t stop listening to Malkit Singh and declaring: ''Am just gonna bun dis spliff.'' The story of modern Britain as seen through the windows of an English shop with a big Punjabi heart, Marriage Material is the humorous chronicle of finding love as a desi in England-and of English desis forging and celebrating a betwixt identity that is neither here nor there. |
