Sureel is a young first-generation Indian American. All he wants is to be like his American friends, but his strict immigrant parents keep a tight rein on his life. Will he realize his dream of performing rock-and-roll music?

Sureel is a first-generation Indian American about to graduate from college as a music major whose controlling father still believes that he is pre-med. His desires in life conflict with both his family's traditional values and the usual Indian way of assimilating into America by becoming a doctor or engineer. As graduation approaches, he has an opportunity to be nationally recognized for his music that will simplify telling his father the truth. Value conflicts are explored as the rationale behind internal racism and dating objectives are also explored.—Scott, Milwaukee, WI
