English Summary:

George Khan is a Pakistani Muslim who has lived in Britain since 1937. He has a wife in Pakistan. He and his second wife Ella, a British Roman Catholic woman of Irish descent, have been married for twenty-five years and have seven children; Nazir, Abdul, Tariq, Maneer, Saleem, Meenah (the only daughter) and Sajid. George and Ella run a popular fish and chip shop.

While George is obsessed with the 1971 war between East and West Pakistan and arranging marriages for his children, the children themselves, born and brought up in Britain, increasingly see themselves as British and reject Pakistani dress, food, religion and living. After George disowns Nazir for running out on his arranged marriage, he immediately begins making plans to have another of his children married to maintain his image.

Hungarian Summary:

George Khan - gyerekeinek Dzsingisz -, a büszke pakisztáni bolttulajdonos vasszigorral tartja kézben a családját. Mind a hét gyermekéből becsületes muszlimot akar faragni. Igen ám, de a helyszín az észak-angliai Salford, s hozzá 1971-et írunk. Ella, George angol felesége szereti és becsüli férjét, ugyanakkor gyerekeit is boldognak szeretné látni. A gyerekek pedig - akik a trapéznadrág és az előre elrendezett esküvők között kénytelenek lavírozni - egyszerűen a modern világ polgárai szeretnének lenni.
