Listen Up!, a coming-of-age story about a Pakistani family who has immigrated to the suburbs of Oslo and is trying their best to make the Nordic country feel like home.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.At the heart of it all is Mahmoud (Mohammed Ahmed), a 15-year-old who was looking forward to a relaxing, low-key few months away from school—but his family has other plans.As if his demanding mother and embarrassing father weren’t enough, Mahmoud has to contend with his Uncle Ji (Black Mirror & Industry‘s Asim Chaudhry) coming to visit from Pakistan for the summer. Tasked with showing his uncle around town, Mahmoud realizes he’ll also have to teach him about their completely different way of life in Oslo.And then there’s his little sibling, Ali (Liza Haider) who’s been experimenting with makeup and starting to question their gender identity.
