Story
Alim is a young gay of Arab descent. He was born in Kenya , raised in Toronto , and then moved to London to escape the obsessive care of his conservative Muslim parents. The guy is faced with the difficulties of cuming out in front of his mother Nuru, as well as with problems in relations with her boyfriend Giles. Alim has an imaginary friend (aka guardian angel), who is supposedly Cary Grant . Angel gives the guy advice when he finds himself in a quandary. Often these tips only add to the problems.
