Unicorns, Sally El Hosaini, James Krishna Floyd (UK, 2023)

When Luke, a single father who works as a mechanic, stumbles across an underground nightclub he meets Aysha, a beautiful, seductive British Indian woman. Their first kiss yields fireworks—which are immediately followed by Luke’s sobering realization that Aysha is not the cisgender woman he thought, but a remarkably femme drag queen. Embarrassed, Luke departs. Sensing a connection that might transcend sexual preference, Aysha tracks Luke down and offers him a night job driving her to performance venues. Spending more time together and navigating the challenges in their respective domestic lives, they face the question of whether or not there is a love that can exist beyond traditional labels. Unicorns is an alluring fusion of forbidden romance and colliding cultures, a powerful, lyrical story of serendipitous human connection, where two people might become lovers, if only they can build a bridge between their very different worlds.

Film will be screened in original version (English) with subtitles in Spanish and Catalan.

A film in the 2024 edition of Mostra FIRE!! Film Festival.
