Touch of Pink

Touch of Pink combines a contemporary clash of cultures and values with the pleasures of an old-fashioned romantic comedy. Alim is so caught up in the romance and style of old Hollywood that he thinks he's living with the spirit of Cary Grant. A young South Asian Canadian in London, Alim lives with his handsome and intelligent English boyfriend, Giles, who is unaware of his lover's fantasy life. Alim and Giles are happy together, until Alim's mother Nuru shows up for a visit. Unaware that her son is gay, Nuru has come to London to convince Alim to come home to Canada and find a proper Muslim wife. As Alim's different worlds begin to collide, he has to choose between his fantasy life with Cary and the more earthly pleasures of real life. (HBO Europe)
