Synopsis


Feeling adrift, British-Indian teenager Pavan is unsure how to come to terms with his present and future life. His grandfather and mother want him to become the first person in their family to attend and graduate from college, however Pavan is unsure if this is really what he wants. His friends seem far more self assured, making Pavan feel somewhat isolated. His love for 70s disco music gives him solace, particularly as it allows him to feel closer to his dead father, who also loved disco. As a way of escaping familial and cultural pressure, Pavan occasionally imagines himself as the hero in an idealized 70s landscape set to a disco soundtrack.
When he has the chance to attend a disco themed party Pavan jumps at the chance, where he has a brief meeting with Stephanie, a 20-something model and actress. Pavan falls instantly in love with her, despite spending little time together, and becomes determined to win her heart.
