The story is about an Indian couple: Lata and Anuj. Their marriage was arranged by their parents. They have lived in India but now they are living together in Cardiff. Anuj has lived in Cardiff for six years but Lata has only lived there for 4 months. One day they want to go the cinema and watch a Bollywood film. When they arrive Lata can see girls who are dressed in a provocative way. When the movie starts Lata stares greedily at the screen, her eyes devouring the background images of her hometown. Lata is so aborted in the movie that she makes loud comments to the film. Anuj tries to tell her that it is bad manners. When the movie ends she is back to the reality of her life in England and she is crying.(138 word)
Lata is the new in town and she comes from India. She moved to England 4 months ago to marry Anuj because her father wanted that. He thinks that it would best for her in England because she can get some opportunities that she wouldn’t have in India as we can see in the text, “He had the red passport, hadn’t he? Baba got her married to him? Good future for you, beti, he had said.” The reason why her father wanted her to marry Anuj was because he has the red passport and he has lived in England for 6 years and he can give her opportunities which would be better than for Lata’s life in India. She would be a very young happy girl. However, she is not mature like her husband Anuj who is calm and mature. Once her mother has said, “She would learn to love him. Yes, Ma had said so; she would learn to love him.” Lata’s relationship to Anuj isn’t what we may expect from a happy love story.
