Synopsis

Meera Syal's coming-of-age novel makes a successful transition to the big screen in this film adaptation. Set in the Midlands of the 1970s, the story concerns Meena, a young British Asian girl starting to navigate the path between innocence and maturity. Her parents want her to be a good Punjabi girl, but Meena wants to decide her own future and finds herself drawn to the rebellious older white girl, Anita. Meanwhile, racial tension casts an uneasy shadow on the local community. This is a funny, moving and thought-provoking film.

What our educators say

"Some of them saw a clip from Wakolda (The German Doctor) on TV recently and really wanted to watch it. So I thought I’d take a chance, not expecting them to watch the whole film but the majority were absolutely gripped. "
