Luton is a four-letter word

It's Luton, late 80s, the city like the rest of England is overrun by poverty and bigotry. It's not particularly easy for a Pakistani student Javed, a gifted writer, who is controlled by a stern traditional family and a hostile society.

In spite of bleak British environment that was delivered brilliantly, it's still a rather uplifting and heartwarming a movie.
