Synopsis
Ae Fond Kiss... (2004) is Ken Loach's romantic drama you can watch online on iFILM. In Glasgow, Pakistani-Scottish DJ Casim falls for Roisin, an Irish Catholic music teacher.
The catch: Casim's parents have already arranged his marriage to a cousin from Pakistan, and the wedding is about to be announced. He's pinned between Roisin and the weight of family, faith and community. Loach films the affair with no soft glow — the tenderness keeps running straight into hard questions about religion, immigration and what it costs to choose yourself.
The title comes from a Robert Burns song about parting lovers, and it sets the mood: a quiet, bittersweet story with no promised happy ending. Part of Loach's loose Glasgow trilogy, the film picked up prizes at the Berlin Film Festival. One for viewers who like grounded social cinema where love is blocked not by a villain but by the way things are. Stream Ae Fond Kiss... (2004) online on iFILM.
