Ae Fond Kiss...

(2004)Directed by Ken Loach104 min · RDrama, Romance

Casim Khan (Atta Yaqub) is a second-generation Scottish Pakistani whose family has already chosen the life he is meant to have. Then he falls for Roisin Hanlon (Eva Birthistle), an Irish Catholic schoolteacher, and neither his relatives nor her faith make room for it. Ken Loach films it in plain, unpolished daylight, keeping the camera close to the kitchens and living rooms where the arguments happen.
