Unicorns

Unicorns

Luke (Ben Hardy) works hard as a mechanic and a single father to his unruly young. To let off steam, he has meaningless hookups with local women he meets on Tinder. But when he stumbles across an underground British Asian club in East London, he has a chance encounter with the alluring Aysha (Jason Patel). When Luke realizes Aysha is not a woman, but a remarkably femme drag queen, he's shocked and leaves abruptly. Aysha, who will do anything to keep his sexuality hidden from his traditional Indian Muslim family, shows up at the garage where Luke works. Spending more time together, their friendship blossoms and their sexual chemistry grows. But how can they be together when Luke isn't queer and Aysha isn't straight? Do these labels matter - or even exist? Unicorns is a critically acclaimed film about the price we pay to be ourselves. Co-directed by Sally El Hosaini and James Krishna Floyd, the film alternates between the thrill of raw desire, the gravity of familial responsibility and the transformative power of being seen for who you really are.
