Ben Hardy and newcomer Jason Patel shine in this summer’s must-see romance.

A powerful story of forbidden love and colliding cultures unfolds when hard-working single father Luke meets beautiful, seductive drag queen Aysha.

Unable to deny the spark between them the pair are forced down the unexpected path of transformation, where they must question their identities and confront their individual truths.

Co-directed by Sally El Hosaini and filmmaker-actor James Krishna Floyd, the film alternates between the thrill of raw desire, the gravity of familial responsibility, and the transformative power of being seen for who you really are.

★★★★ A powerhouse acting debut electrifies this rich drag story of fluid desire. ~ Time Out. 

★★★★ Ben Hardy and Jason Patel excel in Sally El Hosaini’s gritty romance as a straight single white dad and a closet Asian nightclub performer navigate their mutual attraction. ~ The Observer.

★★★ Jason Patel is excellent as drag queen Aysha in Sally El Hosaini’s new drama of queer south Asian club culture, but the scenes where Aysha goes back home to her parents in Manchester, as their son Ashiq, really steal the show. ~ The Guardian.
