Arranging Love explores the realities of the arranged marriage and the rules of love and relationships for second generation Indian-Australians. Following three second-generation Australians, Arranging Love attempts to look past the stereotypes of children struggling against their controlling Indian parents.

Thirty years since their parents migrated to Australia, those children are now starting families of their own. Their choices and their stories unveil the struggles and various attitudes the Indian community holds towards relationships, love and sexuality. With an arranged marriage, a cross cultural marriage and a love match among them, their stories uncover the truth of living in the middle ground between East and West in the 21st century.
