Growing Up Smith

It’s better to stand out than to fit in.

A warm, nostalgic coming-of-age comedy about a young Indian-American boy navigating identity, belonging, and family during the late 1970s.

In 1979, an Indian family moves to America with hopes of living the American Dream. While their 10-year-old boy Smith falls head-over-heels for the girl next door, his desire to become a "good old boy" propels him further away from his family's ideals than ever before.
