“This is America. Where Dreams Come True...ish”
In Jackson Heights Queens New York two career-driven sisters (Maryam and Sam) and their newly-immigrated cousin (Ameera) must navigate the consistent — and sometimes conflicting — demands of romance culture work and family. Serving both as a lighthearted reimagination of and critical divergence from the classic romantic comedy Americanish tackles and celebrates the complex intersectionalities of womanhood by welcoming us into the world — with all its joys and tribulations — of these three marriage-aged women. Americanish meditates on the sometimes-inevitable tension that arises between competing societal and cultural norms or between personal obligations and ambitions with a fresh perspective weaving from it a story that is unconventional funny and heartwarming.
