Story: |
In 1987 Britain, Javed Khan is a British-Pakistani college arts student in
Luton in a family with a domineering father. Depressed by his oppressive
family life and feeling he has no future in a hostile community, a newfound
friend introduces Javed to the music of Bruce Springsteen. Touched by the rock
star's powerfully eloquent affinity of his own feelings, Javed is inspired to
reach out for his own dreams with his own talents. However, although Javed
finds friends he never expected in this personal quest, he also finds himself
butting heads with his newly unemployed father who stubbornly refuses to
understand his son's new aspirations. In this conflict of values in a troubled
time, Javed must decide what is truly important to him while his family
struggles to understand what has changed and what remains with a new generation
feeling born to run.
