Setting this tale of displacement in London's Asian community, Kureishi also tells a gay love story. The strength of the film is its cutting, compassionate and sometimes hilarious vision of what it means to be Asian and British in Thatcher's England. He returns to the London of his youth to find the streets on fire with race riots. He visits his son Sammy, who's in an open marriage with Rosie, the rebellious daughter of an upper class British family. Rosie is highly critical of Rafi's brutal political past.
