Realistic
The Pride examines changing attitudes to sexuality and the perennial themes of love, lust, and betrayal. Three characters exist in two different time periods (repressed homosexuality in 1950's and the open gay world of 2008) and come to learn that even though social conventions may change, the pursuit of self-knowledge and true happiness remains as challenging as ever.
Realistic
Past her prime, Min joyfully spends her life caring for her sick, foul-mouthed mother, Balbir. Today, for the first time in years, they’re off out. Mother and daughter head to the local Sikh Temple, but when Balbir encounters old friends, a past trauma rears its ugly head. Min and Balbir´s illusions are about to be shattered as they become immersed in a world of desperate aspiration and dangerous deals.
