Based on the real-life
courtship between Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, THE BIG SICK
tells the story of Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail
(Nanjiani), who connects with grad student Emily (Kazan) after one of
his standup sets. However, what they thought would be just a one-night
stand blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is
expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents. When
Emily is beset with a mystery illness, it forces Kumail to navigate the
medical crisis with her parents, Beth and Terry (Holly Hunter and Ray
Romano) who he's never met, while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war
between his family and his heart. THE BIG
