Synopsis

The story of a South Asian family in Montreal, and a father who sets his son up to marry the perfect girl, not realising that his son is gay.

Description

Hunt Hoe's story of a South Asian family living in Montreal is an emotional epic about the conflict of tradition versus passion. In his second feature about immigrant experiences in Canada, Hoe explodes religious, cultural, and sexual taboos. The recently widowed Vijay Chatterjee discovers Maarya whom he believes will be the perfect Indian wife for his Canadian-born son, Ashish. What Vijay doesn't know is that his son is gay and that the blond Canadian Ashish hangs out with all the time is his lover. After a hastily arranged marriage, Vijay learns that the home fires are not burning as they should be and tries to teach his son how to seduce his new bride. But in the process, Vijay falls passionately in love with Maarya. And Maarya's own past soon comes to haunt them when her violent brother Zakir appears.… Full of warmth, grace, passion, and great cinematic beauty, SEDUCING MAARYA is a timely film and story about hope.
