A Palmful of Sky captures the complexities of Pakistani culture. It paints its rich innocence as well as the powerful societal expectations for marriage, relationships and romance in a light-hearted but gripping tale of a young woman coming of age and breaking molds. Maya Badruddin's life is complicated enough - her parents' separation, her stepmother, her college crush Arhaan who has friend-zoned her, and a dead-end job. Then her cousin, Jazib, shows up to remind her of their childhood engagement. The constant family pressure and promises of an inheritance see Jazib pestering Maya to honour their engagement... his mind soon changes upon meeting Ranya, Maya's stepmother's American-born sister who is visiting Pakistan for the first time in fifteen years. Maya and Jazib decide to officially terminate their engagement and take a trip to their farmland estate with Ranya to talk to the elders things come to a head. The events will shape all their futures. A Palmful of Sky speaks to the timelessness of finding your own path while honouring tradition and society.
