San Diego Italian Film Festival Presents
A romantic comedy with a huge heart and charm to match, promising director Phaim Bhuiyan’s film is a fresh and spirited portrait of the complications of young love caught between very different beliefs. Phaim, a young Italian Muslim of Bangladeshi origin born in Italy 22 years ago, lives with his family in Rome’s multiethnic Torpignattara neighborhood. He works as a museum steward, and plays in a band. At a concert, he meets Asia, his exact opposite: pure instinct, and no rules. The attraction between them is immediate, and Phaim will have to figure out how to reconcile his love for the young woman with the most inviolable of Islam’s rules: no sex before marriage. Italian with English subtitles.
