Synopsis:
When his conventional Indian parents try to arrange a marriage for him, akash, a gay Indian, hits the road to self-discovery that takes him from his home, rural Nebraska, to the throbbing clubs of London, to the rooftops of India and a kite festival unlike anything you could ever have imagined. along the way meet his wily grandmother, the butch lesbians of Mumbai and learn a lot about cultures, identity and living that we are.
