WordPride month x Cinemien: Layla

Description

Layla is an Arab, non-binary drag artist who moves across the stage with flair, but behind the glitter lies a deep yearning for genuine love and recognition. During their performance at a condescending corporate Pride event, Layla catches the eye of Max, a charming marketing manager who seems open-minded.

What begins as a whirlwind romance full of passion and promise gradually becomes more complicated. As Layla slowly alters aspects of their identity to keep Max’s love, both are forced to confront uncomfortable truths about desire, self-denial, and the cost of being seen (or not seen).
