When her grandmother comes off the airplane in Houston from Pakistan, Mahnoor knows that having Dadi move in is going to disrupt everything about her life. She doesn´t have time to be Dadi´s unofficial babysitter--her journalism teacher has announced that their big assignment will be to film a documentary, which feels more like storytelling than what Maha would call "journalism." As Dadi starts to settle into life in Houston and Maha scrambles for a subject for her documentary, the two of them start talking. About Dadi´s childhood in northern India--and about the Partition that forced her to leave her home and relocate to the newly created Pakistan. As details of Dadi´s life are revealed, Dadi´s personal story feels a lot more like the breaking news that Maha loves so much. And before she knows it, she has the subject of her documentary.
