Chand, who has been living with her family in Punjabi, goes to Canada to marry a man she has never met. Although she arrives the country with dreams of a new beginning and a good life, things don’t work out as planned. Responsible for also taking care of his family, Chand’s husband Rocky resorts to domestic violence as early as their honeymoon. When Chand begins working at a factory, her life changes completely after she meets the Jamaican Rosa. Heaven on Earth comes to the fore with a narrative that skillfully works political criticism into the story it illustrates.
