Synopsis

Receiving rave reviews for both its New York and Los Angeles productions, Rajiv Joseph’s Huck & Holden tells the story of Navin, an Indian college student who’s fresh off the boat and trying to remain focused on his studies while the temptations of America and college life start beating down his door.

When Navin falls for Michelle, a young African-American woman, he finds that his perceptions of the world begin to expand – and crumble.

Called “a coming-of-age story with comedy, pathos and a distinct emotional core” by offoffline.com , this is a romantic comedy that wrestles with cultural stereotypes, racism, the Kama Sutra , The Catcher in the Rye and how losing our innocence doesn’t always make us wiser.
