Diaspora

SYNOPSIS
Nasser Younis Khan has a highly respectable degree from a top school in England and a career in architecture that is quickly blossoming in Asia. Filled with confidence and optimism for a better future for himself and his family, he moves them all to Canada. He is soon quick to realize that starting a new life in a foreign country demands more than just a good degree and a big dream.

times of struggles, joys and departures over the passing
years.
