Two Cultures, Two Traditions, One Love
“Sensual, witty and elegant.” – Los Angeles Times
The stunning stars of A World Unseen team up for another gorgeous lesbian romance. Lisa Ray stars as Tala, a London-based Palestinian whose wedding plans are upended when she begins to fall for the British Indian, Leyla (Sheetal Sheth).
Grappling with her sexuality, Tala is not ready to accept the implications of the choice her heart has made for her and escapes back to Jordan, while Leyla tries to move on with her new-found life, to the shock of her tradition-loving parents.
As Tala’s wedding day approaches, simmering tensions come to boiling point and the pressure mounts for Tala to be true to herself.
Moving between the vast enclaves of Middle Eastern high society and the stunning backdrop of London’s West End, I Can’t Think Straight explores the clashes between East and West, love and marriage, conventions and individuality, creating a humorous and tender story of unexpected love and unusual freedoms.
