Produktbeschreibung

Two daughters, two mothers, one father, a cardboard cut-out and a foul-mouthed granny - a household at war with itself, and a family which will do anything to protect its' secrets. Behsharam (Shameless) follows second generation sisters, Jaspal and Sati, through the fantasies, dysfunctions and obsessions of their extraordinary extended family.
Set in Birmingham, this is a bold, disturbing and at times hilarious exploration of the British Asian experience.
