Set in modern Birmingham, Land Gold Women revolves around a small British Asian family caught between their traditional past and the tumultuous, faction-driven present. Nazir Ali Khan, a soft-spoken, genteel 45-year-old professor of History at a University in Birmingham, emigrated from India in the 1980’s. He made Birmingham his home with his conservative wife Rizwana and their two children, Saira, 17 and Asif, 14.
He indulges their interests in all things English and Western, but now finds himself increasingly nostalgic about his roots. Saira, with a year to complete her graduation, is excited at the prospect of going to university to pursue her interest in Literature. Nazir finds himself feeling increasingly conflicted at the thought of his daughter going out into the big bad world. His fears are further strengthened by the arrival of his orthodox older brother Riyaaz from India, who arrives with a proposal of marriage for Saira. Nazir finds himself on the brink of making a decision that will clearly question and define his ideals and beliefs.
