The plot content of the same name and surname

This film is based on the best-selling novel of Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist jhumpa lahiri.

Although they live in America, they are from India. In order to experience this legendary developed country with infinite possibilities, they came here to pursue their American dream and learn how to establish a meaningful lifestyle in an unpredictable new society ... Under the arrangement of their parents, Asoko and Ashma emigrated from sultry Kolkata (a port city in northeast India) to cold new york, where they settled down and started a new life. Because of the arranged marriage, Asoko and Ashma, strangers, were forced to live under the same roof and try to adapt to a completely unfamiliar environment. Their married life is neither salty nor light, and they respect each other as guests, because the arrival of their son has improved. With the arrival of new classmates, the cold house finally has the warmth of home. By reading the novels of the famous Russian writer Nikolai Nikolai Gogol, Ashoka was lucky enough to avoid the disaster of train rollover, so he named his son "Nikolai Nikolai Gogol"-both gratitude for the past and expectation for a better future.

However, they did not expect that the name would bring endless trouble to their son. Because for Nikolai Nikolai Gogol, life is far from easy as his parents expected. As the first generation of Indian immigrants who grew up in the United States, Nicola Nikolai Gogol was walking on thin ice in the narrow passage between Indian descent and American society. Although Nicholas Nikolai Gogol has an Indian face, he has been swallowed up by the realistic American school. He plans to date a rich American girl, maxine, and be admitted to the architecture department of Yale University for further study ... but his parents insist on Indian tradition and hope that he can find an Indian girl to marry and have children. Contradictions inevitably arise, and their running-in road is extremely difficult and painful. Until one day, Nicholas Nikolai Gogol discovered that the world his parents insisted on was inextricably linked with the new world he faced-if he wanted to live a new life, he must know where his roots were.
