George Khan ist stolzer Besitzer eines Fish'n'Chips-Ladens und ebenso stolzer Pakistani. Seine sieben Kinder nennen ihn "Dschingis", was durchaus nicht immer liebevoll gemeint ist. Denn Despot George versucht mit strenger Hand, seine Nachkommen zu guten Moslems zu erziehen. Meistens werden seine Züchtigungsversuche jedoch schon im Ansatz von seiner englischen Frau Ella zunichte gemacht. Sie hat bei aller Liebe zu ihrem Mann nämlich schon erkannt, dass die Moderne nicht mehr aufzuhalten ist...
In 1971 Salford fish-and-chip shop owner George Khan expects his family to follow his strict Pakistani Muslim ways. But his children, with an English mother and having been born and brought up in Britain, increasingly see themselves as British and start to reject their father's rules on dress, food, religion, and living in general.
