"BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM's Parminder Nagra gives a vivid and compelling performance as Heere, an independent young woman who flees from her repressive Indian family in this intense, dramatic, and mature British television show. London's Southall provides the setting for the show's almost Shakespearean plotting, as Heere struggles to understand her cultural identity and place in British culture."--IMDB summary
This is about the life of second generation Indians in London--a generation whose values are conditioned by their life in an alien country and not having little connection with India. They are defiant and self-assertive in a society from which they are alienated (the lyric they sing--whose words are something like "this is the way we are, this is Asian way, do you vibe with it)
