Ali dreams big - he wants to be with the girl he loves, but he's been promised to another girl at his father's mosque. He wants to be the great doctor that the community expects him to be, but he doesn't get the marks. And above all he wants to make his father proud. Really proud. So what will Ali do to live up to the impossible expectations? Fake it. Because as the son of the cleric, he doesn't have a choice. An irreverent and warm-hearted comedy, ALI'S WEDDING is an affectionate and entertaining story about family, duty and love in multi-cultural Australia.
