    • Synopsis
    • When Zdenka, a single woman in Czech Republic, started playing online games with strangers, she didn't know it would change her life. Neither did Tabish, a computer scientist a world away in Pakistan. Their friendship turned to romance, and after flying to Sri Lanka to meet in real life, the committed couple married.
      But five years after Tabish filled out Czech immigration application, the two remain apart, forced to live their married life on Skype because the Czech government rejects Tabish's entry requests. But why? Are they paternalistic, ableist or simply racist?
      With grit, humour and dogged perseverance, the couple digs in to battle a faceless bureaucracy.
