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