Club Room x Muse: Polarized screening and live Q+A with Shamim Sarif
15 135 mins
15 135 mins
In a fading rural town caught between tradition and change, Lisa takes a job at the last place she wants to be: a cutting-edge vertical farm she believes represents everything that destroyed her family’s way of life.
The farm belongs to Dalia’s successful Muslim family - newcomers still searching for acceptance in a community that keeps them at arm’s length.
Weeks before Dalia’s wedding, a charged confrontation between the two women exposes buried prejudices and costs Lisa her job.
Hostility becomes fascination. Fascination becomes desire.
As Lisa and Dalia slip between two very different worlds, their unexpected intimacy begins to destabilise everything they thought was fixed: family, faith, class, belonging—and the futures waiting for them.
