故事发生在第一次世界大战刚刚结束后，满目疮痍的大地正在缓慢的恢复之中。穆斯林学生阿里（亚当·巴克里 Adam Bakri 饰）有着尊贵的出身，家族里洋溢着浓厚的宗教气氛。一次偶然中，他邂逅了名为尼诺（玛利亚·瓦沃德 María Valverde 饰）的女孩，尼诺是信仰东正教的基督徒，虽然两人的宗教信仰截然不同，但之间还是碰撞出的爱情的火花。
和阿里不同，尼诺从小接受的是欧式的文化教育，倾向于多元和开放，因此这段跨越了种族和宗教的爱情并没有给她带来太大的困扰。阿里和尼诺一起度过了许多美好的岁月，游荡在广袤的天地之间，然而，他们仍然需要面对来自现实的问题。
Kaveh Tehrani's coming-of-age film is an adaptation of Gulraiz Sharif's 2020 novel, depicting the increasingly complex summer vacation of 15-year-old Mahmoud. Not only does a sociable uncle from Pakistan visit, but Mahmoud must also navigate the family crisis that unfolds when his little brother Ali has a secret that turns their whole world upside down.
It doesn't take long for the film to set the tone: The protagonist, Mahmoud, almost immediately breaks the fourth wall, seamlessly taking on the role of the narrator. The film doesn't look back: it brims with techniques and devices that inject energy into the narrative and provide a framework for the themes, taking us under the skin of what turns out to be a poignant, thought-provoking family drama – all wrapped in the attractive guise of comedy.
Questions about identity and belonging in Norwegian society (for both young and older characters) within a multicultural family from Oslo become the central driving force. The adaptation of Gulraiz Sharif's book is solidly directed by debut filmmaker Kaveh Tehrani. While the film aims to maintain its entertainment value, it also carries a sharp political edge – directed equally against society's rigid class structures and conservative family traditions. The talented child actors in the lead roles carry the heart of the film on their shoulders, ensuring that few leave the theater untouched in the end.
The film will chronicle the formation of Simple Plan in Montreal in the late 1990s, their rise to global stardom with hits like "Welcome to My Life," "I'd Do Anything," and "Perfect," and their continued impact as one of the most successful punk rock bands that continues to sell out shows worldwide. The documentary will feature never-before-seen archival footage, along with new interviews with the band members and celebrated icons of the punk rock community including Mark Hoppus (Blink 182), Avril Lavigne, Dexter Holland & Noodles (The Offspring) and Fat Mike (NoFX).
