Premise

Phaim Bhuiyan is a second-generation boy born and raised in Italy with strong traditional values instilled by his Bangladeshi parents. However, things take a turn when he falls in love with Asia, a rebellious and free-spirited girl from an atheist family.

Despite the significant age gap between them and the clash of their cultural backgrounds, Phaim and Asia are willing to compromise to experience the genuine love they share. However, Phaim's families culture and traditions put the relationship in a crisis.

Phaim's father Shipon, a dreamer and an idealist, who wants to move to London. On the other hand, Asia's father Olmo is explosive and overwhelming, but passionate about everything except his back pain and constant conflicts with his ex-wife. Along with Olmo, Asia's mother also shows her approval of their relationship.

Phaim's sister Navila is in constant "siblings" conflict with him, while his cousin and roommate Sumaya tries to help him navigate his personal and love life. His friend Matteo always sits in the same bench, giving him advice and smoking weed.

In contrast, the Imam of the local mosque, Rifat, who is also a friend of Phaim, helps him through this crisis and supports him. Asia's best friend Fede is always there to support her in her decisions as well.

As they both try to navigate their love and cultural differences, they also find themselves surrounded by other quirky characters in their lives, like Fayruj, Tangir, and Shoshi, whom are Phaim's singing bandmates. Also, Bob Corn, a singer of desperate loves who loves to accompany the strangest couples with his bizarre and heartfelt notes.
