In Every Dream ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ a Heartache

Successful Pakistani immigrants living in Oslo return to the Punjab to build their dream home.

Over the last twenty years or so hundreds of mansions have appeared in the Kharian region of the Punjab. Each mansion represents a successful migration to the West – some to the UK but mostly to Norway. For three or four weeks a year the mansions are holiday homes to the returning migrants and their Norwegian born children. This is often a time when differences and rifts in extended families emerge and a time when young people must assess their futures.
