| Summary |
The Mankoos, a Sikh family, who originate from Kenya, lived in London and recently emigrated to Australia, take a journey to India in search of their identity and a place of belonging. Dari, the father, ex-pop star and London Underground driver, Tina, his wife and an IT expert, and their daughter Kiran, a fractious teenager venture on the trip which they hope will change their life.Dari wants to take his family to places which are important to every Sikh. It is meant to be a lesson for his daughter, so she can learn about the country of their ancestors and see what poverty is and appreciate their place in life.But Dari's drive and enthusiasm is tested when the family is forced to stay in places that lack the basics of hygiene and the demanding Himalaya trek puts Kiran's life at risk. Finally, there is a struggle to find affinity to the place and their feelings are mixed.Mind the Gap is the story of a family in transition and their struggle to find their roots and a common ground. (From Denmark, in English and Punjabi, English subtitles) |
