- Summary:
- "Focusing on three second-generation Indo-Canadians Pretty, Hanif and Rajni, this documentary thoughtfully examines an age-old Indian tradition being adapted and transformed in North America. The three young people make it clear that arranged marriages aren't what they used to be. Nowadays, they involve negotiation, introductory phone calls, matrimonial classifieds in Indian community newspapers, long-distance trips, lengthy get-to-know-each-other sessions and the option of saying "no."--Container.
