Ali, was born in Iraq but living in Melbourne, had to live up to the society's and family's expectation. His father who was the respected cleric and imam of the Muslim community, set a high hope that Ali would study medicine in university and become a doctor. It had forced Ali to tell the biggest lie ever in order to make everyone happy to know that he had achieved the goal just like what people wanted. At the same time, he fell in love with an intelligent Lebanese girl but was forced to marry a girl of the family's choice. There are just too many conflicts in this drama, especially when the immigrants' effort to still preserve and practice their traditional culture and religious beliefs in Australia. However, the whole story was not heavy though and you could still enjoy watching as there were quite a number of funny scenes throughout, not to forget the romance between Ali and Dianne.
