PRESENTED BY

A young Fijian-Indian Australian rapper and his grandma bond over a time-honoured cultural tradition: swearing up a storm.

In this delightful, laugh-out-loud comedy from emerging writer/director Ravi Chand, 19-year-old bedroom rapper Dev takes his non-English-speaking grandma home after having ruined his grandpa’s funeral. Full of pitch-perfect cultural details and a handy how-to guide to swearing in both English and Fiji Hindi, this is a burst of Melbourne suburban life at its most vibrant.
