Marriage is considered one of the most sacred bonds between two people. Its outreach extends far beyond a simple promise to be loyal and faithful to one person and one person alone. However, when infl uenced by the push and pull of cultural stigmas, religious boundaries, and differences in generational mindsets, it can also be one of the most complex and daunting experiences anyone can go through.
A Kiss on the Forehead is an attempt to tell a story that happens far too often and isn't discussed enough. Shaan, a fi rst generation college graduate from a conversative Muslim, Pakistani household, falls in love with Alisha, a Hindu, Indian girl. What's supposed to be a celebration of love and a bond built of trust, compassion, and empathy quickly becomes a tumultuous whirlwind of emotion, rejection, and ultimately, reconciliation. Relationships like these, where two supposedly incompatible worlds come together to create a new harmony, are becoming more prevalent, and yet they are still heavily looked down upon. We're slowly moving towards a more accepting world with the freedom to exist as yourself, but it's still not happening fast enough.
