Layla is a struggling Arab drag queen whose confident façade hides their desperate desire for love. When their performance at a 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.

Capturing the ups and downs of infatuation from a queer perspective, Amrou Al-Kadhi’s confident debut feature teases out everything that animates and underlies an intense romance. With drag as a dazzling medium of self-actualisation, desire and bias entwine throughout this vivid tale of modern love.
