SYNOPSIS
Born and raised in London until age seven, little Zubair is abruptly uprooted and shipped off to his family’s ancestral Pakistani village for reasons known only to his parents.
Plunged into a world of massive culture shocks and bewildering lifestyle adjustments, it’s the little daily routines that suddenly become matters of life and death. Namely: going to the bathroom.
As we follow young Zubair through the indignities of learning to navigate the infamous naala and his grand, heroic quest to get a modern toilet built inside the family compound, we are treated to something truly special, the chaotic, confusing, and delightfully tender inner world of a child just trying to figure out life in a strange new land.
