Layla, a non-binary Arab drag performer, has been booked to perform at a “diversity” event for a ready-meal company. The money is good, and they’re excited to bring their work to a new audience. The corporate event is completely hollow. Max, a white cis-gender gay man who works for the company organising the event, is bewitched, and so the pair begin an unlikely romance. Layla has a complex yearning for acceptance and is thrilled to win the affection of Max. Max, initially hypnotised by Layla’s unabashed queerness, begins to overanalyse all his previously unexamined decisions in life, triggering his own internal crisis. As their relationship strains under these pressures, both Layla and Max are forced to face up to the things really holding each of them back.
