<p>A timely and honest coming-of-age story that explores the complicated<br> relationship between identity, culture, family, and love.</p> <p>Seventeen-year-old Rukhsana Ali tries her hardest to live up to her<br> conservative Muslim parents' expectations, but lately she's finding<br> that impossible to do. She rolls her eyes when they blatantly<br> favour her brother and saves her crop tops and makeup for parties<br> her parents don't know about.</p> <p>If she can just hold out another few months, Rukhsana will be out<br> of her familial home and away from her parents' ever-watchful eyes<br> at Caltech, a place where she thinks she can finally be herself.<br> But when she is caught kissing her girlfriend Ariana, her devastated<br> parents take Rukhsana to Bangladesh, where everything she<br> had been planning is out of reach.</p> <p>There, immersed in a world of tradition and arranged marriages, Rukhsana<br> finds the perspective she's been looking for in her grandmother's<br> old diary. The only question left for her to answer is:<br> Can she fight for the life she wants without losing her family in<br> the process?</p>
