Cuenta la historia real de Kumail y Emily, una pareja que se conoce en un espectáculo de comedia. Cuando parecía que todo iba a quedarse en un encuentro de una noche, su relación empieza a avanzar a pesar de las diferencias culturales, complicando las vidas de todos por las expectativas que tenían los padres de Kumail, musulmanes estrictos. (FILMAFFINITY)
