麻豆约拍

Keighley, 1966. Mukesh arrives from Kenya to study, and first meets Nisha...

Decades later, Mukesh's daughter Neha is dying from lung cancer, a genetic gift from her mother and an invocation to forge a better relationship with her brother and her widowed father before it's too late.

Neha's brother Rakesh is a comedian but his career is flatlining and he's grieving his mother and sister. Ba has never looked after her two young grandchildren before. After the death of her daughter, they come to stay with her and she has to work out how to bond with two children who are used England, not to the rhythms of Kenya...

Nikesh Shukla's hilarious and moving story about three generations of one family, riven by falling-outs, united by fates and fortunes: featuring Mukesh, Neha, Laila, Ingrid and Ba.

Omnibus of episodes 1 to 5 read by Bhasker Patel, Chetna Pandya, Maya Sondhi, Indira Varma and Taru Devani.
