Synopsis

The Khan family – from East Is East – is back in this vibrant and heartwarming story of love, forgiveness and the importance of one’s heritage. George takes his teenaged son Sajid on a trip to his native Pakistan, where Sajid’s British sensibilities clash with a traditional way of life.

Our take

A very British multicultural comedy, West is West depicts the voyage of a British-Pakistani adolescent and his family, travelling from their home in Manchester to the father’s native Pakistan. A rewarding journey of discovery ensues, brimmed with culture-clash and cross-generational disputes.
