A film student and an art student fall in love. All is well, except she's the daughter of a Bavarian family, and he is from Tamul, India. Their visit with the two sets of parents shows a lack of enthusiasm for their partnership. When they decide the parents should meet, the cultural differences will either disturb or strengthen their future together. In Amma & Appa, the couple sets out to explore questions of cultural gaps, especially when all parents want is to see their children happy. This is a sweet romantic comedy documentary that will leave you giddy with delight.
