Ravi and Rita are set up on a date arranged by their traditional Indian parents. When unforeseen circumstances force them to live together for a week, Ravi discovers that Rita is not quite the traditional girl of his dreams—but her “bad influence” might be just what he needs to expand his limited worldview. As irritation gives way to intimacy over the course of seven days, they are both forced to confront what they've been hiding from each other, from their families, and from themselves.

Programmer Notes:

A light-hearted, sweet comedy with an interesting angle on cultural differences. Charming characters and performances; great writing!
