What do you think?
Watch the first extract, 'Amir's arrival'
- What effect does the music have in the opening sequence?
- How does Amir appear when we first see him? Why do you think this is?
- What is the house like where Abdul spends his first night?
- Why do you think Amir's roommate says 'the first night's always the worst'?
Watch the second extract, 'Bringing home Mary'
- Why is Amir so afraid of Mary? What could happen if he was right?
- The Pakistani music is at odds with the distinctly British scenery of a Midlands town on a rainy grey day.
- Amir seems very disorientated, nervous and dishevelled. He's probably had a very long and stressful (and illegal!) journey to Britain.
- The house appears squalid, cold and bare. It must be very disorientating and difficult to leave one's own home for a new unknown country.
- Amir thinks Mary could be a police informant. He's scared that she might report them as illegal immigrants which might mean prison or deportation.
