This event is part of Escapes, a new offering that gives you the chance to get down to your local cinema for free! Supported by the BFI, awarding National Lottery funding.
The nature of modern relationships and coming to terms with differing values lies at the heart of Amrou Al-Kadhi’s striking feature debut.

Layla is a struggling Arab drag queen whose confident façade hides their desperate desire for love. When their performance at a belittling corporate Pride event turns into a transgressive takedown, they are surprised to catch the eye of marketing executive Max, whose attentions sweep Layla off their feet. But as Layla starts to alter who they are in order to keep Max’s interest, they both must face uncomfortable truths.

Content Warning: This film contains flashing lights which may not be suitable for people with photosensitive epilepsy.
