Nieuwe Markt 1, 9712KN Groningen GroningenA sharp and intimate look at multicultural London in the 1980s. At a time of political tension over migration, an unexpected romantic relationship unfolds in a laundrette.
In Stephen Frears' iconic film, we follow young Omar, a British-Pakistani man, who, with the help of his former school friend and skinhead Johnny, breathes new life into a run-down laundrette. As Omar balances the expectations of his traditional family with his own ambitions, an unexpected romantic relationship with Johnny unfolds. Together, they try to find a place in a society that offers them little space — as migrants, as unemployed people, as outsiders.
A film about love, identity and resilience, which has lost none of its power today.
