Description:  A unique cross-cultural love story that follows Brian, an Australian ex-Goth and a puppeteer, as he converts to Islam and attempts to overcome cultural as well as personal obstacles in order to marry Amber, a young Muslim woman in Pakistan.

Brian, an Australian Gothic and a puppeteer, falls in love with a young Muslim woman in Lahore, during a short visit to Pakistan in 2000. Upon his return to Australia, he decides to convert to Islam and return to Pakistan to seek her hand in marriage. Despite Amber’s wish to marry Brian, her family is unimpressed by the idea of her marrying an unknown foreigner. What unfolds is a long and difficult process that leads to frustration, disbelief, and despair. However, Brian's love and determination is remarkable, if not bordering on obsession. While he comes close, he does not give up on their love.
