My beautiful laundrette
Description
Description
Young Londoner Omar isn’t sure what he wants out of life, but his uncle Nasser provides a corrupt, capitalist role model as Omar graduates from washing cars for the old crook to running his run-down laundromat. After a chance meeting with Johnny, an old school chum whose flirtation with fascism deeply wounded Omar’s principled Papa, Omar hires the young thug to work for him. Soon, the pair begin a romantic relationship that remains as under wraps as the illicit drug-running and enforcement work they perform for Nasser’s associate, Salim.
