Nina's Heavenly Delights (Pratibha Parmar, UK, 35mm, 92 min., 2006)
Community Co-Sponsor: Cream City Foundation
Community Co-Presenter: Lesbian Alliance



An intoxicating and wonderfully funny mix of lesbian romance, family melodrama, and a whole showcase of delicious food.
Upon hearing the news of her father's death, prodigal—and closeted—daughter Nina returns home to Glasgow, only to learn that the family's Indian restaurant is set to close. Overcoming her family's resistance—her grieving mother wants to sell; her brother resents his sister's insistence; and her younger sister could give a fig (she's busy secretly pursuing Scottish dance)—Nina decides to enter a televised curry cook–off competition to save her family's business. And, when her old college friend Lisa agrees to help, love becomes part of the recipe. Meanwhile, her gay friend Mohan auditions for a choreographer's job with an Indian film company. With a nod to Bollywood, director Parmar knows exactly how to serve up this tale of family secrets and simmering love: with a dash of ghost story, a musical number or two and a genuine embrace of sentiment. Unabashed and buoyant, warmly humorous and refreshingly pleasurable, Nina's Heavenly Delights is like the work of a great chef who can conjure up something surprising and unexpectedly satisfying from a familiar recipe. Don't arrive with an empty stomach!
