Considered as a touchstone of British cinema, My Beautiful Launderette portrays the socio-political arena during Margaret Thatcher’s government through the love story of two homosexuals, a young Pakistani and an English neo-fascist. After taking over a run-down laundromat in a poor part of London and refurbishing it before opening it up again for business, Omar and Johnny face all kinds of racist obstructions. As they try to succeed with the laundromat business, their love will grow stronger. A vitriolic comedy, the film depicts the social battles of modern day United Kingdom.
