“It’s better to stand out than to fit in.”
In 1979, an Indian family moves to America with hopes of living the American Dream. While their 10-year-old boy Smith falls head-over-heels for the girl next door, his desire to become a "good old boy" propels him further away from his family's ideals than ever before.
A charming, earnest look at a young boy navigating cultural divides and the universal awkwardness of growing up. It feels like a warm hug from the past, full of gentle humor and relatable family dynamics.
