Sharon and Badi both come from immigrant Iranian families in Canada. However, their family backgrounds are very different, both in terms of social class and when they left Iran. Sharon's parents are very focused on her fitting into Canadian society, while Badi, who immigrated later, is still grappling with his ties to Iran. They happen to meet, and although they are initially wary of each other, they soon develop feelings and reconnect with their Persian culture. However, Sharon's family, particularly her father, is against her being in a relationship with someone like Badi.
This film might not focus on the romance as much as on how they struggle with their respective immigrant backgrounds. It's a very good film from that perspective, and I included it in this collection anyway since the romance is still present.
