They then have to decide whether their love is strong enough to endure without the support of their respective communities.Īt the same time, rebellious Tahara struggles to find herself between the bullying of some Scottish schoolmates and her Pakistani relatives. Roisin books a short holiday break for them both on seeing an advert in a travel agent's shop window, and while on holiday Casim tells her about the arranged marriage his family are planning for him. He then meets and falls in love with Roisin, an Irish Catholic immigrant (who is a part-time music teacher in Tahara's Catholic school). Casim's parents, Tariq and Sadia, have arranged for him to marry his first cousin, Jasmine, and Casim is more or less happy with the arrangement. He has a younger sister, Tahara, and an older sister Rukshana. Casim is the only son of Pakistani Muslim immigrants to Scotland. Set in Glasgow, the film tells the story of the Khan family. The film explores the complications which ensue when second-generation Scottish Pakistani Casim (who is Muslim) and Roisin (a Catholic immigrant from Ireland) fall in love. The title is taken from a Scottish song by Robert Burns, the complete line being " Ae Fond Kiss, and then we sever." Ae Fond Kiss… (also known as Just a Kiss in some countries) is a 2004 romantic drama film directed by Ken Loach, and starring Atta Yaqub and Eva Birthistle.
