| Synopsis: | This film is set in a drab northern town in the early 1960s. It tells the story of a group of illegal immigrants from Pakistan whose troubled and fearful existence is brought into crisis when one of them brings a pregnant white girl to live with them in their crammed household. The film adapts the novella "The Journey Back" of the Pakistani writer Abdullah Hussein (originally written in Urdu, translated into English in 1987). | |
