The Murphy family has never tried to be different; they just
are. When Yasmin, the youngest sibling, was diagnosed with
Asperger's Syndrome, her older siblings learned to adapt to less
attention and more responsibility, to a sister with "special
abilities" that no one, not even they, could ever truly understand.
Since the deaths of their parents, the three siblings have become
adults in their unique, tragic ways. Asif, the responsible oldest
brother, has been left to take care of Yasmin by their middle
sister Lila, the stubbornly rebellious beauty who resents Yasmin
for her emotional distance, and for stealing their mother's love
and attention. As Yasmin's committed caretaker, Asif is worn down.
A young professional, he feels his freedom slipping away as he
tries hard to keep the remains of their family together. When the
unthinkable happens, threatening the Murphy siblings' delicate
balance, will they stand together or fall apart? Roopa Farooki's
T"he Way Things Look to Me "is a deeply moving portrait of Brothers
and Sisters, of three siblings caught between duty and love in a
tangled relationship both bitter and bittersweet.
