Leela, a South Asian diaspora woman without a hometown or fixed identity, struggles to find love. A string of lackluster dates produces disappointing results: no prospective suitor seems able to “culture hop” or adapt to the various terrains of her life as much as she’d like. She’s too left-of-field for the South Asian boys, too family-oriented for hipsters, not Indian enough for that one white guy who lives on an Ashram. Convinced that happiness lies in meeting the ‘right’ person—someone perfectly calibrated to her ever-changing sense of self—she decides to literally “frankenstein” together the ideal partner, Sai.
