SYNOPSIS:
In a fading rural town caught between tradition and change, Lisa takes a job at the last place she wants to be: a cutting-edge vertical farm she believes represents everything that destroyed her family’s way of life.

The farm belongs to Dalia’s successful Muslim family - newcomers still searching for acceptance in a community that keeps them at arm’s length. Weeks before Dalia’s wedding, a charged confrontation between the two women exposes buried prejudices and costs Lisa her job.

Hostility becomes fascination. Fascination becomes desire.

As Lisa and Dalia slip between two very different worlds, their unexpected intimacy begins to destabilise everything they thought was fixed: family, faith, class, belonging—and the futures waiting for them.

The Club Room bar will be open before and after the screening - drinks and snacks will be available to purchase throughout the evening.

We couldn't think of a better setting than the sumptuous Club Room at Finsbury Park Picturehouse, and having the amazing RepresentAI team as co-hosts for the evening.
