About Layla
The question of how love alters our identity lies at the heart of this debut from one of London’s best-loved drag queens.
Amrou Al-Kadhi’s first feature considers the relationship between Palestinian-British drag performer Layla and their white, straightlaced new love interest, Max. Thrown together by fate, their enjoyment of each other is increasingly complicated by urgent questions of difference, forcing both to confront the bittersweet nature of attraction. What does it mean to love someone and how much are you willing to compromise?
