She enjoys slipping out and enjoying the Oslo nightlife with her high-school friends. But at home she&#8217;s the dutiful daughter for her deeply conservative parents and extended family.<\/p>\n<p>She fancies one guy in particular; but when she oversteps the mark suddenly her world crashes down around her. Her father Mirza (Adil Hussain) is furious and ashamed. Egged on by his influential social circle, he takes drastic action to \u201cprotect\u201d his daughter from the \u201cpitfalls\u201d of life in the West.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, she&#8217;s effectively kidnapped by her dad and her brother and sent to live with an aunt\u2019s family in Pakistan. It&#8217;s a life she knows nothing about. Not surprisingly she tries to rebel, but even when she complies her teenage feelings have disastrous consequences.<\/p>\n<p>I sat shocked and mesmerised in equal measure.\u00a0It&#8217;s all very confronting.\u00a0It is infuriating and alarming to watch, such is the power of the performances and the script.<\/p>\n<p>Young Nisha is desperately trying to make sense of it all. If she were weaker she would just roll over, but Nisha is built of sterner stuff and tries to extricate herself from her predicament. However, try as she does, the door appears to slam shut at every turn.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b8_dBOzufWQ\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Maria Mozhdah says so much with her sad eyes.
