Ali in Wonderland
SYNOPSIS
Ali in Wonderland is a coming-of-age story of teenagers, Ali and Nasrine, asylum seekers from Iran who arriving in the UK begin a journey of self-discovery. Seen primarily through the eyes of Nasrine, the pair attempt to build a new life for themselves, but discover that the community they have ended up in isn’t exactly welcoming them with open arms. When the parents subsequently join them, cultures collide, and family tensions mount as it becomes increasing clear that the father, now dependent on his children, is losing control over his family. In this black comedy, they deal with conflict from both within the family dynamics and the clash of ideology and cultural identity with their new environment. Nasrine seeks to gain her own independence and self-determination while Ali begins to discover his sexuality. All reaches a head when tragic events befall a family who are just trying to survive. This is rites of passage story set in the context of the modern day asylum seeker experience which highlights the universality of experience.
