“Boy meets girl, girl falls into coma, seriously funny romcom ensues”, The Guardian
Don’t be put off by the title! This “boundary-pushing but still effortlessly charming” romcom is based upon a true story.

When Emily is stricken with a mystery illness, Kumail has to negotiate the crisis with her parents (Holly Hunter and Ray Romano), who he’s never met, while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart.
