Zoe makes documentary films, and when she hears that her friend and neighbor Kazim is entering into an arranged marriage with a bride he has never met, chosen by his parents, she gets the idea to make a film about it. She persuades Kazim and his family to let her make the film. The work becomes challenging as Zoe simultaneously grapples with her own life and the expectations from her mother that she should find someone and settle down.
A well-made film that tackles the issue of arranged marriages (albeit with a predictable outcome). It's British, which makes it somewhat different from the crowd. Emma Thompson plays Zoe's slightly enthusiastic mother (at first, I hardly recognized her). It becomes a very good romantic movie.
