Amrou Al-Kadhi’s feature debut is a heartfelt exploration of queer identity through the experiences of drag artist Layla, showcasing her struggles and triumphs.

Layla's passionate secret affair with Max highlights the complexities of love and identity, questioning the sincerity of those who are not open about their true selves.
The film deftly examines themes of acceptance and survival within the queer community, ultimately suggesting that self-affirmation may require letting go of those who hold us back.
