Description:

In a tale that explores cultural identity and family bonds, the Ganguli family navigates life after relocating from Calcutta to New York City. Balancing their Indian roots with American culture, Ashoke and Ashima work hard to provide opportunities for their children while ensuring they don't lose touch with their ancestral heritage. Their son Gogol faces a common struggle among the second generation: defining his own identity without losing sight of his cultural background. This heartfelt drama delves into the complexities of assimilation, tradition, and self-discovery as the family forges new paths in their adopted homeland.
