Synopsis: Alim (Jimi Mistry) is so caught up in the romance, style and dreams of old Hollywood that he thinks he’s living with the spirit of Cary Grant (Kyle MacLachlan). A young, South Asian Canadian based in London, Alim lives with a handsome, charming intelligent English boyfriend, Giles (Kristen Holden-Ried), who is completely unaware of his lover’s fantasy life. Alim and Giles are happy together, despite Cary’s presence, until Alim’s mother Nuru (Suleka Mathew) shows up for a visit to. Totally unaware that her son is gay, let alone that he is living with Giles, Nuru has to come to London to find Alim a proper Ismaili-Muslim girlfriend and to convince him to come home to Canada. With his mother in the picture, Alim's different worlds quickly begin to collide, and he has to choose between his fantasy life with Cary and the earlier pleasures of real life.
