Anita Mathal Hopland documents her Pakistani family of 25 living together in Karachi over 15 years. The film explores her personal journey as a child of multiple cultures and the impact of cultural origins on individual lives. Anita's exploration brings her closer to her own generation in Pakistan, revealing the challenges of being suspended between two cultures. She examines the rights and choices of women in her family, while questioning her own liberties in Danish society. The film provides intimate insights into the lives of three younger family members and their experiences with life and death.
