Peccadillo Pictures is proud to announce that it will release Fawzia Mirza‘s award-winning feature directorial debut The Queen Of My Dreams in UK cinemas on 13th September. The film, which features outstanding performances from the entire cast, is joyful, funny and affecting.
Spanning two different generations and times, the film follows Azra (Amrit Kaur) as she travels to Karachi after her father’s death to reconnect with her estranged mother Mariam (Nimra Bucha). Azra must come to terms with mourning her idealised late father while trying to understand her equally complex mother through their joint obsession with Bollywood.
The Queen Of My Dreams explores not putting loved ones on pedestals and the reality of navigating mother-daughter relationships. It examines intergenerational divides, culture clashes and self-realisation. The film’s heart lies in writer/director Fawzia Mirza’s personal look at her family dynamics and her journey as a queer Canadian woman. It’s an insightful and humorous examination of South Asian identity.
Watch The Queen Of My Dreams distributed by Peccadillo Pictures set to release in the UK cinemas on 13th September.
