Manchester, North of England, 1975. The now much diminished, but still
claustrophobic and dysfunctional, Khan family continues to struggle for
survival. Sajid, the youngest Khan, the runt of the litter, is deep in
pubescent crisis under heavy assault both from his father's tyrannical
insistence on Pakistani tradition, and from the fierce bullies in the
schoolyard. So, in a last, desperate attempt to 'sort him out', his
father decides to pack him off to Mrs. Khan No. 1 -- the wife and
daughters he had abandoned 30 years earlier and their family in the
Punjab. It is not long before Ella Khan (Mrs. Khan No. 2), with a small
entourage from Salford, England, swiftly follows to sort out the mess,
past and present.
