Storyland – I’m Yours – RTÉ2 Thursday November 7
Zo is a high-flying solicitor in Ireland’s top law firm, but she’s harbouring a secret: she’s engaged to a man she’s never met, who her Pakistani parents have picked.
When Zo’s colleagues spot her engagement ring, her Pakistani and Irish identities collide. Zo is vague on details (announcing that she’s having an arranged marriage isn’t exactly water cooler banter!).
But with the wedding fast approaching, Zo decides to break with tradition, and meet her fiancé before they get married. But will the man of her dreams actually live up to Zo’s expectations?
This fresh, funny drama is an exploration of modern romance, with the weight of inherited cultural tradition.
I’m Yours is written by Diandra Xavier and directed by Laura O’Shea for Deadpan Pictures.
Starring Jeffrin Jerome (Zo), Clara Harte (Oonagh), Trevor Kaneswaran (Bilal), Paul Tylak (Zo’s dad Ali) and Bharti Patel (Zo’s mum Fatima).
