Synopsis

The year is 1995. Layla, born and raised in the U.K., to Nasreen and ‎Abdul (her Bangladeshi parents) has just qualified as a solicitor at a ‎City firm in London. Follow her as she navigates her way during the ‎early years of her career. Join Layla in her quest for a husband as she ‎delves into the 'arranged' marriage model, seeing suitors from both the ‎U.K. and Bangladesh, both English and Bangladeshi by ethnicity. Is ‎Layla being too precocious...or is it right for Layla to challenge the ‎norms that frame the conventions that she's familiar with?‎
