Imran (Nazeem Hussain) escapes to the coast, partly for a gig at the pub with his hip hop trio, but mostly to avoid meeting his girlfriend’s family and the weighty expectations of Muslim marriage.
When Imran’s estranged father turns up out of the blue, Imran grapples with the consequences of his Dad’s abandonment – one of them being him running away from his girlfriend this weekend.
Summer Love is an anthology series in which eight very different sets of people rent the same holiday house and encounter some incarnation of love. Summer Love harnesses the collision between the dreamy enchantment of the beach and the clumsy reality of humans on holiday.
Funny and uplifting, the series captures the anonymity, the possibility, the escape that we all feel on vacation – alongside the sunburn and the sand in the sheets. The house, hanging over the ocean, is the portal for love – to be discovered, or recovered, or let go.
