Synopsis

Lucky Khanum is a schoolboy with only three passions:

• Football

• Star Wars

• And Portia the girl who works in his grandfather’s corner shop.

While he dreams of scoring for England, his mother Delphine, dreams of escaping her gilded, self-inflicted cage as a Knightsbridge housewife and recapturing something of the girl she once was. But chasing after her past by rekindling an affair with her father-in-law Zaki is only going to lead to disaster…

Zaki wants an unfettered live: free from moral responsibilities, family ties and from the mundane existence of running a corner shop in Hammersmith. His affair with Delphine is the perfect chance to make a break for freedom.

As all three strive for their dreams they soon realize that there are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting your heart’s desire and the other? Getting it…
