Saim Sadiq’s glorious, award-winning debut feature is a must-see on the big screen.

In inner city Lahore, Haider, a quiet and seemingly happy house husband is pressured by his fiercely patriarchal father into finding work. He takes a job in an erotic dance theatre, where finds himself infatuated with Biba, a dazzling transgender performer. The Pakistani entry for Best International Feature Film at this year’s Academy Awards is a distinctive and vibrant visual feast, encasing a tender and deeply moving queer drama of family, social expectations, love and longing.
