An awkward true story.
Based on the real-life relationship between Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, The Big Sick tells the story of Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail who connects with grad student Emily (Zoe Kazan) after one of his stand-up sets. However, what they expected to be a one-night stand blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents.
