'Everywhere and Nowhere' is a 2011 coming of age British drama film focusing on the identity struggles of Ash (James Floyd) a young British Pakistani who is torn between the traditions of middle-class family life and his passion for DJing. The film comes from Kidulthood director Menhaj Huda.
Synopsis
Young and educated, Ash leads a privileged life but finds himself between two cultures: hedonistic, multi-cultural London with his friends and a traditional Pakistani family upbringing in the middle class suburbs.
