East Is East

In early 1970s England, a Pakistani father finds the authority he has previously maintained challenged by his increasingly Anglicized children.

In 1971 Salford, fish-and-chip shop owner George Khan expects his family to follow his strict Pakistani Muslim ways. But his children, having been born to an English mother and brought up in Britain, increasingly see themselves as British and start to reject their father's rules on dress, food, religion, and living in general.
