Everywhere and Nowhere is a 2011 coming of age British drama film focusing on the identity struggles of Ash (James Floyd), a young British Pakistani who is torn between the traditions of middle-class family life and his passion for his work as a disc jockey. The film comes from Kidulthood director Menhaj Huda.

Synopsis

[edit]

Young and educated, Ash leads a privileged life but finds himself between two cultures: hedonistic, multi-cultural London with his friends and a traditional Pakistani family upbringing in the middle class suburbs. Tormented by the idea of entering the family business, Ash rebels and finds identity through blending classic Bollywood soundtracks with contemporary electronic music.
