One of a pair of entertaining and insightful films on arranged marriages seen through the eyes of a groom, Shabba. This film gives an inside perspective on the struggle that young British Muslims face in trying to satisfy both their parents' traditional views and their own more modern desires.

Shabba is 26 and likes hip hop, football and Versace. His mum, who he lives with in West Ham, has chosen a girl for him to marry. She lives in a village in Pakistan. Shabba wants to get to know her and make his own mind up, but when he arrives in her village the elders won't allow it. He will not set eyes on her until the wedding day.

The film follows Shabba over 8 months as he struggles to balance his Eastern and Western influences and find a way to keep himself, his family and his new wife happy.
