East meets West and curry meet fish-and-chips in this warm and funny film about cultural and emotional collisions within one family. The year is 1971, and George Khan is an observant Pakistani Muslim living in Salford with his English wife – and has reached the point where he’s struggling to control his seven children, most of who seem more interested in clubbing and dating than respecting George’s traditional values. Full of laughs and touching moments, East is East is a treat for all ages and cultures.
