The 1970s. Ashima and Ashoke leave Calcutta and move to Boston, where Ashoke is completing his studies at MIT. When their son is born, Ashoke names him Gogol, after his favorite writer. As Gogol grows up, he longs to fit in with his American peers, despite his family’s attachment to traditional ways. Mira Nair offers a faithful adaptation of Jhumpa Lahiri’s acclaimed novel.
