West Is West

2010 NR 1h 43m 6.4

An immigrant father decides to take his truant son back to the old country.

Salford, North of England, 1975. The now-much-diminished, but still claustrophobic and dysfunctional Khan family continues to struggle for survival. Sajid, the youngest Khan, the runt of the litter, is deep in pubescent crisis under heavy assault from both his father's tyrannical insistence on Pakistani tradition and from the fierce bullies in the schoolyard. So in a last, desperate attempt to 'sort him out', his father decides to pack him off to Mrs Khan No 1 and family in the Punjab, the wife and daughters he had abandoned 35 years earlier. It is not long before Ella Khan (Mrs Khan No 2) and a small entourage from Salford, England swiftly follow to sort out the mess, past and present.
