Ishwar Maharaj as Sami

"One thing the film does do well is feature a subplot in which Tala’s sister Zina (Kimberly Jaraj) is heartbroken because she loves a Jewish guy. Zina also befriends Sami (Ishwar Maharaj), a gay relative who arrives for the wedding. Both of these developments—a secret “forbidden” love and another gay Muslim character—positively underscore the central storyline and show that Tala’s situation is not an isolated one."
