According to the synopsis, the movie revolves around documentary movie-maker Zoe (Lily James) as she tries her luck on the modern dating scene with little success.

Interestingly, Kazim (essayed by Shazad Latif), Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour, decides to pursue an arranged marriage with beautiful bride Maymouna (played by Sajal Aly) from Pakistan.

Meanwhile, the movie cast include Sajal Aly, Shabana Azmi, Lily James, Emma Thompson and Shazad Latif.
