It’s 1999. In Toronto, Azra Malik shows her girlfriend her favorite Bollywood film: “Aradhana.” Across the country, her mother watches a similarly-labelled VHS as she and her husband Hassan pack for a trip back home to Pakistan. An awkward phone call between them makes it evident that their relationship is strained. Two nights later, Azra gets another call from her mother: Hassan’s had a heart attack and died. Azra’s journey back to Pakistan incites memories and flashbacks.
