In July 2016, Islamic terrorists stormed a popular café in upscale Dhaka and held its patrons hostage, killing more than 20 people and sending shockwaves across the subcontinent. Faraaz is the youngest son of a rich, politically connected family. That evening, he meets his friends at the café and finds himself caught in the crossfire. How he reacts to the nightmarish situation forms the heart of the story. Offsetting nail-biting tension with unexpected humour – often at the expense of inept law-enforcement officials – Hansal Mehta (Aligarh, LFF 2015) brings his trademark sensitivity, nuance and empathy to this fictionalised retelling. It is particularly striking for the way it looks at religious extremism from the perspective of Muslims who have seen their faith questioned and demonised because of the actions of radical extremists.影片讲述了狗仔成默和业余导演疯子，在酒吧光棍节派对上大醉一场，结果第二天醒来后，成默发现自己房间多了一个女人，而且还是某大腕的女儿，于是成默和疯子合计做一期独家新闻，仨人一路跌跌撞撞，笑料百出。没想到卷入了一场绑架案，原来这个女孩并不是大腕的女儿，而是一个再普通不过的群众演员，但是成默已经深深的爱上了这个古灵精怪却行事鲁莽的姑娘。故事根据Rebecca Skloot的纪实文学改编。标题人物Henrietta Lacks是上世纪五十年代一位身患癌症的黑人女性，1951年医学研究者非法从她身上获取了癌细胞，结果却引出了令人震惊的医学突破——不仅改变了许多人的命运，甚至改变了整个医学界。据称当时Henrietta Lacks的细胞被用来创造第一株「不死的」人体干细胞——在接受植入后的一个星期仍然存活。 该剧的主人公是Henrietta Lacks的女儿Deborah Lacks（Oprah Winfrey），她试图理解一个自己从未见过的母亲，研究她与现代医学发展之间的奇特关联。剧情深刻揭露了医学界的傲慢、自大、种族、贫穷等问题，同时深入剖析「最不可能成为朋友的人」如何建立起「最深厚的友谊」。Rose Byrne扮演年轻女记者Rebecca Skloot，她正在调查Henrietta Lacks的故事及其「不死的」细胞。她与Henrietta的女儿、魅力非凡但性格复杂的Deborah建立了亲密友谊。 经过长达十多年的调查研究，Rebecca最终写出了著名的《Henrietta Lacks的不朽人生》（The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks）。这本书出版后立刻登上《纽约时报》畅销书排行榜，并且在榜单上停留了整整四年时间，影响力甚为深远
