A British-Indian teenager struggles with his cultural heritage in modern-day London; falling for a 20-something actress/model during a 1970's-themed exhibition, and becoming obsessed with both her, the fashion and music of a seemingly more glamorous 70's era, all the while trying to keep his family's Indian traditionalism and the impending responsibilities of adulthood at bay..
But as his grandfather falls dangerously ill, he is forced to face up to the realities that surround him, and begins to realise that his stylish, disco-fantasy world is just a temporary means of escape from the one man he must face up to and really get to know himself.
