Synopsis: A kaleidoscope of color and culture clash humorously as an Indian family in London tries to raise their soccer playing daughter in a traditional way. Unlike tart elder sister, Pinky, who is preparing for an Indian wedding and a lifetime of cooking the perfect chapeau, Jess dream is to play soccer professionally like her hero David Beecham. Wholeheartedly against Jess unorthodox ambition, her parents eventually reveal that their reservations have more to do with protecting her than with holding her back. When Jess is forced to make a choice between tradition and her beloved sport, her family must decide whether to let her chase her dream... and a soccer ball.
