TWO WEDDINGS, TWO PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT WORLDS, ONE TRUE LOVE
It is the summer of 1987 in Dublin. Though they know they are not in love, friends Helena and Omar will be married within the year – Helena to her childhood sweetheart, Omar to the woman his Indian parents will choose for him.
Will they marry the wrong person and live the lives ordained for them, or will they face down the truth and the prejudice about their relationship, even as their families come to terms with the realities of half-lived lives?
Or will they choose love over loyalty and freedom over duty, upending their families' world?
