Layla is a struggling British-Palestinian drag performer 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 win the affection of Max, a charming, successful white gay man who is bewitched by Layla's power on stage. It sparks a thrilling romance from across the spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community, as both Layla and Max negotiate how desire and identity can sometimes collide. With a booming soundtrack and visual flair, Layla is a powerhouse film for those who identify as any of the letters of LGBTQIA+.
