A shared love of music ignites sparks between Ali and Ava. Ali finds comfort in Ava’s warmth and kindness while Ava finds Ali’s complexity and humour irresistible. They have to find a way to keep their newfound passion being overshadowed by the stresses of their separate histories.
Claire Rushbrook and Adeel Akhtar give magnificent performances at the center of this cross-cultural romance from British filmmaker Clio Barnard. A charismatic, Bradford-set drama energised by a rousingly eclectic soundtrack, Ali & Ava intimately unfurls the knotted entanglements of life and love.
