Inhalt: Asya and Manu are looking at apartments, envisioning their future in a foreign city. Removed from the web of family and its obligations, what traditions and rituals should they establish together? As they dream about the possibilities of each new listing, Asya, a documentary filmmaker, spends her days gathering footage from the neighbourhood park like an anthropologist observing local customs, anxious to know how people really live. “Forget about daily life,” chides her grandmother on the phone, “no one cares about that.” Meanwhile, life back in Asya and Manu's respective home countries continues—parents age, grandparents get sick, nieces and nephews grow up—all just slightly beyond their reach. But the world they're making in their new city is growing, too, they hope. As they open up the horizons of their lives, what and whom will they hold onto, and what will they need to release?
