Layla (2024)
London im Pride-Monat. Drag-Performer:in Layla tritt bei einem tristen Unternehmens¬event auf, das sich Queerfreundlichkeit nur aus Werbezwecken auf die Fahne geschrieben hat. Ausgerechnet hier wird Layla von dem jungen Marketing-Experten Max angeflirtet. Obwohl die beiden aus unterschiedlichen Welten kommen – Layla ist non-binär, hat palästinensische Wurzeln und lebt in einer aufregenden queeren Künstler:innen-Community; Max ist schwul, stammt aus einem konservativen britischen Elternhaus und hat vor allem Yuppie-Freunde – entwickelt sich zwischen ihnen ein regelrechter Liebesrausch. Doch als Layla versucht, sich der Lebenswelt von Max anzupassen, um für ihn „kompatibler“ zu sein, kommt es zu Konflikten. Max beginnt, sich und seine Privilegien als weißer cis Mann zum ersten Mal in Frage zu stellen. Hat ihre Liebe überhaupt eine Chance?
