Daniel Day-Lewis and Gordon Warnecke star in this British comedy drama directed by Stephen Frears. The Hussein family of Pakistani immigrants live in London and have carved out a relatively prosperous life for themselves in Thatcher's Britain. Omar (Warnecke)'s branch of the family is not quite so well off however and he is unemployed until his uncle Nasser (Saeed Jaffrey) is persuaded to let Omar manage one of his run-down laundrettes. When Omar reconnects with his childhood friend and former lover Johnny (Day-Lewis), who is now part of a right-wing extremist gang, they soon resume their relationship. However, the threat of discovery is ever-present and violence and prejudice threaten their future together.
