Azra flies back to her ancestral home in Pakistan to be reunited with her grieving mother Mariam, with whom she has a strained relationship.
Struggling to fit the image of the perfect daughter, Azra finds herself transported, through Bollywood-inspired flashbacks, to 1960s Karachi, sparking a connection between her mother’s wild youth to her own life in 90s Canada.
Best of 2024 – our team says:
A family tragedy brings generations of women together in this energetic and fast-paced film which explores a young woman’s queer identity and the shift in her once-strong relationship with her mother.
With stylish production design and Bollywood-infused storytelling, this delightful film takes us on a nostalgic journey to 1960s Karachi and reminds us that our parents were young once too.
The Queen of My Dreams has been selected for Best Films of 2024 by HOME’s Young Film Collective.
