In Chicago, Zaynab (Fawzia Mirza) is a thirty-something American-Pakistani lawyer who lives with and cares for her recently widowed, TV-obsessed mother (legendary Indian actress Shabana Azmi). Alma (Sari Sanchez) is a free-spirited Mexican-American bookshop owner. After meeting in a bar, the two quickly fall into bed with each other and embark on a romance…but problems aren’t far behind. Zaynab’s traditional mother still expects her daughter to marry a man, while Alma finds herself reluctant to get involved with the closeted Zaynab, leaving them at odds despite their strong attraction for each other. And then there’s Zaynab’s latest interest: training in Lucha-style wrestling with a former pro grappler! Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best US Narrative Feature at Outfest and a worldwide festival darling following its SXSW premiere, critics and fans alike agree on the film called “a gem” by the Chicago Sun-Times.

"Another blind buy that was enjoyable! I am a sucker for anything with luchador wrestling and imagery. This bills ite=self as a comedy, and it is funny, but it has a lot of hidden heart and emotion. This is not a genre that I usually watch, but I had a good time with it. There are some good extras, and the performances of the leads was quite nice given the subject."
"Good love story"
"Really happy to see this get a quality physical release."
"I usually don't like a Rom Com but this one was actually pretty decent. The wrestling subplot was what grabbed me initially so I'm happy I bought this. The performances between the two leads was amazing. They had a ton of chemistry together. Definitely had a fun time with this one."
"Entertaining romantic comedy with great chemistry between the characters leading to some fun performances and an evolution of sexuality and culture. Comes with a handful of extras and cool looking artwork on the slip and sleeve."
"All round good comedy package. Decent extras"
"Love and wrestling. A good combo."
"Fun stuff, check it out"
"A very unique and outstanding movie"
"This is the best movie I've watched in some time. Really touching story."
