A beautiful film, be sure not to miss it!
Tala,
a London-based Jordanian of Palestinian origin prepares for
an elaborate wedding with her Jordanian fiancé, when she encounters
Leyla, a young British Indian woman who is dating her best friend
Ali. Spirited Christian Tala and shy Muslim Leyla could not
be more different from each other but the attraction is immediate.
Tala’s feisty nature provokes Leyla out of her shell and soon
both women reveal their feelings for each other. But Tala is
not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart
has made and escapes back to Jordan where her chain-smoking
high-brow mother finishes preparations for an ostentatious wedding.
As family members descend and the wedding day approaches, simmering
family tensions come to a boiling point and the pressure mounts
for Tala to be true to herself. Meanwhile heartbroken Leyla
relishes her newly found sense of identity and self-respect
and moves on with her new life – much to the shock of her tradition-loving
Indian parents. Single again, Tala flies back to London – but
it will take more than just a date set up by Ali and Leyla’s
sister Zara to win Leyla back.
